The painting depicts a solitary vessel in stormy Italian seas in the Gulf of La Spezia, or the Gulf of Poets, beneath the ruins of Doria Castle and San Pietro, a Roman Catholic church built upon an ancient pagan temple. Just across the bay from Porto Venere is Casa Magni, Shelley’s last residence before his death. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/f5802168-7723-4153-bccf-e38ec200818e/Death+on+a+Pale+Horse+Percy+Bysshe+Shelley+Gothic+Keats+Press.jpg Essay - On the 200th Anniversary of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Death: A Brief Introduction - Make it stand out Death on a Pale Horse (1796) by Benjamin West. Although Shelley draws heavily from the Book of Revelation, it is possible Shelley was familiar with West’s 1817 painting (based on the 1796 version above) which was both exhibited and written about at the time. Last came Anarchy: he rode On a white horse, splashed with blood; He was pale even to the lips, Like Death in the Apocalypse. And he wore a kingly crown, And in his grasp a sceptre shone; On his brow this mark I saw— ‘I AM GOD, AND KING, AND LAW.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/b5bfd136-bf20-413f-954f-c779cd852a0f/John+Keats+Listening+to+a+Nightingale+on+Hampstead+Heath+by+Joseph+Severn+Gothic+Keats+Press.jpg Essay - On the 200th Anniversary of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Death: A Brief Introduction - Make it stand out Keats Listening to a Nightingale on Hampstead Heath (1845) by Joseph Severn. The nightingale is seen illumed by the moon in the top left corner of the painting. Severn’s painting, like Shelley’s lines above, presents a natural duality of darkness and light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/66359d3b-bb9e-427a-b505-5a3471aaece3/The+Grave+of+John+Keats+Clay+Franklin+Johnson.jpg Essay - On the 200th Anniversary of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Death: A Brief Introduction - Make it stand out The Grave of Keats (1873) by Walter Crane. Before leaving Rome in 1873, Crane wrote, “I had, too, some little commissions to finish. Among these was a drawing of Keats’s grave at the Protestant Cemetery, which I had undertaken for Mr. George Howard, for whom the previous spring I had done a drawing of Shelley’s tomb.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/cbdfbbc4-9508-4949-af4b-f98d2adf0055/Percy+Bysshe+Shelley%27s+Grave+On+the+200th+Anniversary+of+Shelley%27s+Death.jpg Essay - On the 200th Anniversary of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Death: A Brief Introduction - Make it stand out The Grave of Shelley (1872) by Walter Crane. The grave of Shelley is located in the background, “beneath one of the antique weed-grown towers” of the Aurelian wall. In the same letter before leaving Rome in May of 1873, Crane continues, “Working in that restful garden, beneath the murmur of the cypresses, one might almost feel the spirits of the poets still haunted the place, and could understand the feeling expressed by Shelley that ‘it might make one almost in love with death to think that one should be buried in so sweet a spot.’ As an ardent admirer of both poets I was proud to offer my small tribute to their genius and memory.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/07c86e35-571d-4d3a-9d22-fd8d87241143/Dante+Gabriel+Rossetti+How+They+Met+Themselves+Doppelg%C3%A4nger.jpg Essay - On the 200th Anniversary of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Death: A Brief Introduction - Make it stand out How They Met Themselves (1860) by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Often in folklore, meeting one’s doppelgänger is thought to foreshadow one’s death. Strangely enough, Rossetti painted this particular version of the doppelgänger while on honeymoon with Elizabeth Siddal. Tragically, Siddal would die just two years later at the age of 32 from an overdose of laudanum. It was possibly suicide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/4e305105-7f8c-4f49-913a-f6f0b14b52b7/Moon+Path+by+Ivan+Aivazovsky+On+the+200th+Anniversary+of+Shelley%27s+Death+Faust.jpg Essay - On the 200th Anniversary of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Death: A Brief Introduction - Make it stand out Moon Path by Ivan Aivazovsky (1817 – 1900). The painting, although not depicting the “delightful bay [of La Spezia]” described in Shelley’s letter, is most certainly “another world” of Faustian beauty. https://www.gothickeatspress.com/essay/in-pursuit-of-percy-shelley-the-first-celebrity-vegan-an-essay-on-meat-sex-and-broccoli monthly 0.5 2025-07-21 https://www.gothickeatspress.com/essay/celebrating-a-great-radical-poet monthly 0.5 2023-07-17 https://www.gothickeatspress.com/essay/the-mountain-that-walks-abroad monthly 0.5 2025-07-21 https://www.gothickeatspress.com/essay/the-words-of-a-dead-man-shelleyan-afterlives-in-the-auden-group monthly 0.5 2023-05-02 https://www.gothickeatspress.com/essay/percy-bysshe-shelley-atheist-lover-of-humanity-democrat monthly 0.5 2023-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/6f55df94-6caf-4663-87eb-1844a2f8ca8b/Hotel-registry.jpg Essay - Percy Bysshe Shelley: “Atheist.

Blue, the chocolate lab, and Anna, the basset hound, are both poised next to an image of Boatswain’s Monument, the tomb of Lord Byron’s own beloved dog. Anna died on the very day Clay visited the tomb at Newstead Abbey in October 2018, just days before travelling to Whitby and beginning the poem, which is why it was important to include in the illustration. https://www.gothickeatspress.com/poems/the-fires-of-ecstasy-at-samhuinn monthly 0.5 2024-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/68cc05c9-f83c-457f-afef-1c1c3ee1bf20/Samhain+poem+Clay+F+Johnson.jpg Poems - The Fires of Ecstasy at Samhuinn - Make it stand out This is Eli John’s illustration to Clay Franklin Johnson’s poem “The Fires of Ecstasy at Samhuinn”, a Keatsian poem of mythology, mortality, and metamorphosis.

Make it stand out The poem was inspired by Edinburgh’s Samhuinn Fire Festival that took place atop Calton Hill on 31 October 2018, which is both Halloween and Keats’s birthday. The illustration depicts the view from the hill with Edinburgh’s Gothic skyline in the background, while the focal point represents the metamorphosis of the goddess Brìghde (associated with spring) into the blue-skinned Cailleach (from Old Irish Caillech, “veiled one”), also known in Scotland as Beira, Queen of Winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/aab900f1-55bf-4578-af9f-02966855b6be/Edinburgh+Ecstasies+Clay+Franklin+Johnson.jpg A Ride Through Faerie & Other Poems - Make it stand out The poem was partly written at The Jolly Botanist in Edinburgh (note the long-stemmed teacups in the bottom left), and partly inspired by Percy Bysshe Shelley’s verse drama The Cenci (1820), based on the tragic story of Beatrice Cenci. According to Mary Shelley, Percy was inspired to write the drama after viewing the supposed portrait of Beatrice in Rome. That very portrait is included in the illustration above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/340308ec-136a-4938-9a2a-19679fdfd1b7/Lines+Written+by+Moonlight+at+Whitby+Abbey.jpg A Ride Through Faerie & Other Poems This is the second illustration of three from “Lines Written by Moonlight at Whitby Abbey”. To see the third illustration read the full poem here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/6f786651-a339-4635-88c8-4ca557c48e2f/My+Little+Green+Secret+Clay+F.+Johnson.jpg A Ride Through Faerie & Other Poems - Make it stand out The illustration illustrates quite perfectly the poem’s inspiration: arsenic-laced Emerald Green Victorian wallpaper. The arsenical pigments were also known as Paris Green and Scheele’s Green, and were used in paintings, ball gowns, artificial foliage, and even in candies. The antagonist of the poem, a Gothic Barry Lyndon of sorts, secretly administers this slow-killing poison in the guise of sore-concealing cosmetics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611808efb386442902fbec91/c837c6ae-d036-4faa-a5d5-b8bf84dcccde/Clay+Franklin+Johnson+author+photo+2025.jpg A Ride Through Faerie & Other Poems -
