Henry Fuseli painted The Nightmare in 1781 through an oil on canvas and can be found in the Detroit Institute of the Arts, and it was a transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism which emphasis from reason to feeling. I have heard of sleep paralysis before, and this image just make me thinks of it, the way the demon was sitting on her, and she cant move obviously due to the pressure on her from the demon. She lays lifelessly on the bed, but you could tell that she is still alive. I am, not sure what the purpose of the horse in the picture is for though.
