Victorian Dark Art: Inspiration and Characteristics
Victorian dark art, often intertwined with the broader Gothic aesthetic, emerged from a complex interplay of societal factors, including rapid industrialization, scientific advancements challenging traditional beliefs, a prevailing fascination with death and mourning, and the Romantic movement's emphasis on intense emotion and the sublime. The inspiration for this style often came from:
-Mortality and Grief: The high mortality rates, particularly due to disease, made death a constant presence in Victorian life. Queen Victoria's prolonged mourning for Prince Albert further normalized elaborate grieving rituals, influencing art and culture.
- Supernatural and Occult: A growing interest in spiritualism, seances, and the occult fueled artistic explorations of ghosts, spirits, and the afterlife.
- Gothic Literature: The popularity of Gothic novels (e.g., Frankenstein, Dracula, Wuthering Heights) provided rich thematic material, featuring haunted castles, tragic romances, madness, and the grotesque
