Joseph Noel Paton - The Fairy Raid
Nov 26, 2006, 08:37
I visited Kelvingrove in Glasgow yesterday and saw this:

The Fairy Raid: Carrying off a Changeling – Midsummer Eve, 1867, Sir Joseph Noel Paton (1821-1901), oil on canvas, 90.5 x 146.7cm

Full of pretty imagery however the blurb said that it was a sinister painting depicting the faires coming to steal away a baby and leave an ugly changeling in its place.
