In Focus | The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania by Joseph Noel Paton
Fairy painting was hugely popular in the Victorian era, allowing artists to explore the magic, make-believe and mischief of an enchanted realm. Joseph Noel Paton was one of the most successful fairy painters of the day, and in this painting, he explored the scene in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, where Queen Titiania's quarrels with King Oberon.
In this new series devoted to Scottish Art, we look at paintings by some of the nation's finest artists. We examine them to uncover what makes each work so special and reveal some of the stories behind them.
This series is part of the Scottish National Gallery Project. The project will completely transform the way Scottish art is shown at the Gallery. A new suite of exhibition spaces will be created, which will be directly accessible from the adjoining Princes Street Gardens, and provide a light-filled, new home for the our unrivalled collection of Scottish art, raising its profile for visitors from all over the world..

Fairy painting is pretty fascinating
A really enjoyable In Focus, thank you
I also like Arthur Rackhams painting, The Meeting of Oberon and Titania
Lostbelt 6 bring me here. Oberon Vortigern is kinda sus.
So Oberon got transformed in a pretender for all that
So basically, Oberon roofied his wife and it backfired spectacularly when she got with another guy, and all this over a child that wasn't his. Talk about a toxic relationship...
Isn’t it funny with all the LGBTQescapeTQfromQIAhereAP going on in the world straight people are becoming fairies that can do magic…like bringing life into the world, guess I’m the first to notice the fairytale setting coming in.
