illustrated collection. This unique exhibition gathers more than a hundred magnificent works, each chosen for their striking beauty, weirdness and captivating story behind their creation. Obscure and forgotten treasures sit alongside famous masterpieces with secret stories to tell. Here are Doom paintings, screaming sculptures, magical manuscripts, impossible architecture, dog-headed saints , angel musketeers and the first portrait of a cannibal . Stolen art, outsider art, ghost art, revenge art, and art painted at the bottom of the sea take their place alongside scandalous art, forgeries and hoaxes, art of dreams and nightmares, and cryptic paintings yet to be decoded. Discover the remarkable Elizabethan portraits of men in flames, the mystery of the nude Mona Lisa , the gruesome ingredients of lost pigments, the werewolf legion of the Roman army , and the Italian monk who levitated so often he’s recognised as the patron saint of aeroplane passengers. From prehistoric cave art to portraits painted by artificial intelligence, The Madman’s Gallery draws on a remarkable depth of research and variety of images to form a book that surprises at every turn, and ultimately serves to celebrate the endless power and creativity of human imagination. ‘…a feast of artistic curiosities’ – TheTelegraph ‘What that last book did for bibliophiles, this new, beautifully produced and elegantly written anthology does for art lovers… The research that has gone into this is prodigious, but Brooke-Hitching loves storytelling even more than scholarship, and he has a gift for it.’ - The Spectator ‘Extraordinary’ – Artists & Illustrators
