The Followers 1906

Harrison Fisher's 1906 painting, "The Followers", depicts a woman in a flowing gown being followed by a group of cloaked figures and a devil-like jester figure. The scene's enigmatic nature creates a sense of intrigue, inviting viewers to interpret the story behind the characters. Fisher's signature style is evident in the elegant figures and the use of rich, expressive colors. The use of dramatic lighting and the contrasting figures emphasize the tension and mystery of the scene, characteristic of the early 20th century artistic movement, Art Nouveau.
