Step into the mysterious and provocative world of Ditlev Blunck's 'Nightmare' with our jigsaw puzzle, a mesmerizing blend of art and intrigue. This 1846 masterpiece, available in 252 pieces or 520 pieces, unravels a nightmarish scene where sex, euphoria, and the delicate dance between life and death converge.
Blunck's canvas portrays a chaotic room bathed in the first light of morning. The clock ticks past six, casting a spotlight on a peculiar drama. A demonic incubus, with the head of a hare, a man's torso, and a cat's backside, slips through an open window, captivating a young woman in her deep slumber. The scene, both unsettling and captivating, blurs the boundaries between desire and fear.
In the spirit of the artist's time, 'Nightmare' delves into the dichotomy of the bourgeois life and its suppressed sexual urges. The gust of wind from the open window scatters bourgeois virtues, symbolized by fallen sheet music and a neglected book, revealing the tension between societal expectations and primal instincts.
About the artist:
Ditlev Blunck, a Holsteiner artist, won accolades at the Danish Royal Academy of Art and immersed himself in the artistic circles of Rome. His return to Denmark in 1838 was followed by exile, likely due to allegations of homosexual misconduct. Influenced by J.L. Lund and the German art scene, Blunck's stylized naturalism in 'Nightmare' challenges societal norms, making him a forgotten yet intriguing figure in Danish art history. Immerse yourself in this puzzling masterpiece, exploring the depths of desire and societal restraint."
