Jean Henri was a man of many talents and interests. From his artistic endeavors to his love for sports, he lived a life full of passion and curiosity. One glimpse into Jean Henri's world takes us back to c1860 in Shanghai, China. Through the eyes of this talented artist, we are transported to the bustling streets and vibrant culture of this ancient city. But Jean Henri's creativity didn't stop there. He also delved into the realm of dreams and nightmares, capturing their essence on canvas. The Nightmare, created by Henry Fuseli in 1790, is just one example of Jean Henri's fascination with the mysterious realms that lie within our subconscious. Yet it wasn't only art that captivated him; nature held its own allure as well. Inspired by Paradise Lost, another work by Henry Fuseli titled The Shepherds Dream depicts an ethereal scene where nature intertwines with mythology. Intrigued by folklore and witchcraft, Jean Henri found himself drawn to The Night-Hag Visiting Lapland Witches, yet another masterpiece from Henry Fuseli in 1796. This painting showcases his deep appreciation for storytelling through visual art. However, not all aspects of Jean Henri's life were confined to canvases or tales from centuries past. He also admired contemporary figures like Jean-Henri Fabre (1823-1915), a renowned naturalist whose work fascinated him greatly. When he wasn't immersed in the world of art or science, you could find Jean Henri enjoying various sports alongside young boys who shared his enthusiasm. Whether it was archery or fencing under the watchful eye of a master or dancing joyfully before a dance instructor – these activities brought out his playful side. And let's not forget about friendly competition. Boys racing each other to grab victory wreaths from young girls showcased both their athleticism and camaraderie while playing games like cheval fondu (leap-frog) or ball games such as handball and football.
