John Anster Christian Fitzgerald (c. 1832 – 1906) was a Victorian era fairy painter and portrait artist, nicknamed “Fairy Fitzgerald” for his signature genre. Born in Lambeth, south London, to an Irish family, he was largely self-taught with no record of formal study. He became the foremost artist in the peculiarly Victorian genre of fairy painting, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1845. His dark, hallucinatory works populated by ghouls, demons, elves and fantastical creatures were painted in brilliant reds, blues and purples. More than any contemporary, he suggested the existence of a coherent, ethereal alternative world. Reclusive by nature, he died in 1906.
