The Reconciliation of Oberon and Titania (1847)

Scottish artist Sir (Joseph) Noel Paton earned recognition for his painting The Reconciliation of Oberon and Titania, which was winner of the Westminster Hall competition of 1847. The painting, together with its sequel The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania (1849), depict erotic encounters of naked fairies, and form part of the genre of fairy painting, popular at the time.
