Halloween has always belonged to art. Long before costumes, horror films and pumpkin displays, artists were already painting the things that still unsettle us today: witches, ghosts, nightmares, death, superstition and the supernatural.

From Francisco de Goya’s witches and Henry Fuseli’s The Nightmare to Hokusai’s ghosts, Francis Bacon’s screaming figures and Andy Warhol’s electric chair, the darker side of art history reveals how different periods imagined fear and what each culture was afraid of.

But Halloween in art is not always sinister. Grandma Moses and Bo Bartlett turn it into ritual, costume and childhood memory, while artists such as Henri Rousseau, Fausto Zonaro and Hieronymus Bosch show how easily the strange, mysterious and uncanny can enter an image without ever mentioning Halloween at all.

A small tour through Halloween in art history, Gothic art, supernatural imagery, famous paintings, witches in art, ghosts in art, horror in art and the history of fear in visual culture.

What did the Impressionists see differently?

In Paris during the 1860s, a generation of artists began looking beyond the conventions of the studio.

The movement took its name from Claude Monet’s Impression, Sunrise. What began as a critic’s dismissive description soon became the name of one of modern art’s most influential movements.
