The “Milton Gallery”: 47 paintings
Fuseli exhibited 47 paintings on subjects from Milton, many of them very large and completed at intervals over nine years, hoping to form a Milton gallery comparable to Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery. The exhibition proved a commercial failure and closed in 1800.

Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy
In 1799 Fuseli was appointed Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy. His pupils included Theodor von Holst, David Wilkie, Benjamin Haydon, William Etty and Edwin Landseer.

Begins his lectures on painting at the Academy
Fuseli's principal written work was a series of twelve lectures delivered at the Royal Academy, begun in 1801. He wrote French, Italian, English and German with equal facility, though he preferred German as the vehicle of his thoughts.
