    description: Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 109: <p>Technical notes: The support consists of a single piece of coarsely woven plain weave fabric. Fragments of the tacking edges have been preserved. Broad cusping occurs along the lower edge and to a smaller extent along the top edge as well. The painting has probably retained its original height. The painting has been lined. The canvas was prepared with thick, evenly applied ground that completely covers the structure of the support. The ground seems to have been dark reddishbrown. The paint layer consists of single opaque layer that completely covers the underlying preparation. Simple painting technique. The painting underwent conservation treatment in 1987. </p> <p>Provenance: Purchase 1986 from Auktionsverket Stockholm, no. 597. </p> <p>Exhibited: Börstorp, 1987. </p> <p>This theme was treated by Jordaens around 1650.1 The original of this painting is in the Staatliches Museum Schwerin, there ascribed to Jordaens.2 The motif, which it has not been possible to identify, is probably taken from some classical literary source. It depicts an interior at <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">night</u> with a man moving uneasily in his bed while he stretches out his arms towards a naked young woman who seems to appear as a <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">dream</u> figure. Two figures with a candle are standing in the open doorway, while a stool with various bedroom utensils is toppled by the draught. The nude woman standing with her back towards the viewer recalls a similar motif by Jordaens – King Candaules of Lydia Showing his Wife to Gyges (no. 105). A fragmentary classical narrative that has also been proposed as the subject of this work is “The Corinthian Bride” in which a young woman returns to her home in ghostly form after her death.3 </p> <p>The original painting was referred to by a contemporary painter, Gerard de Lairesse, in 1666, a few years after Jordaens’ death. He was not certain what the motif was either.4 GCB </p> <p>1 J. Held, Jordaens “<u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">night</u> Vision – A Rejoinder”, Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes 25, 1962, pp. 131–134. 2 Jacob Jordaens, Nächtliche Erscheinung, oil on canvas, 133 x 144, inv. no. G 161. See Jan Brueghels Antwerpen. Die flämische Gemälde in Schwerin, Staatliches Museum Schwerin 2003, no. 31. 3 The textual basis of this interpretation has been proposed by E.

    description: <div class="description"> In Islamic texts, as in the Hebrew and Christian Old Testament traditions, Zulaykha is the unnamed wife of Potiphar, a wealthy Egyptian. This scene is from a popular Persian poem that recounts the story of Joseph and Zulaykha as a mystical romance, and describes her visionary dreams of a beautiful lover. In this painting we see the luxuriously dressed Zulaykha asleep on a terrace, reclining on ornate pillows as a vision of her love, Joseph, appears before her. He is illuminated by radiant light cast down by angels emerging from the dark <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">night</u> clouds.</div>

    description: Pl. to the 'Anti-Jacobin Review', iii. 99. Fox, asleep in a half-tester bed, is beset by the phantoms of his <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">dream</u>. A fiery horse, ridden by a sansculotte, lies on his chest, kicking a hind hoof in his mouth. The rider plants on Fox's breast the staff of a flag inscribed 'Vive la Liberté' on which a heart (on an inverted crown) is transfixed by a dagger. The foot of the low bedstead has collapsed and the whole bed slides downwards on a tilted floor. A fierce creature (Bonaparte), almost naked except for cocked hat, jack-boots, and enormous sabre, wrenches at the fingers of Fox's out-thrown left hand. A demon with webbed wings, naked except for an arsenal of daggers and a bonnet-rouge, clings to the top of the tester, and clutches at the bed-coverings which he has dragged from Fox. Under Fox's pillow is a dagger, a winged dagger flies towards him from the window. By the foot of the bed (left) are Fox's boots and coat, from the pocket projects 'Godwins Political Justice'. A chamber-pot is inscribed 'Le Paux' (see BMSat 9240). On the floor, with a single die, are pamphlets and papers: 'Ancient Republics', the words facing a black man standing on his head; '[Wa]kefield Answer'; 'Morn[ing Chronicle]'. 1 May 1799 <br>Stipple engraving
