== In visual art == {{See also|Fairy painting}} [[File:CottingleyFairies2.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|One of the five [[Cottingley Fairies]] photographs]] Images of fairies have appeared as illustrations, often in books of [[fairy tale]]s, as well as in photographic media and [[sculpture]]. Some artists known for their depictions of fairies include [[Cicely Mary Barker]], Amy Brown, David Delamare, [[Meredith Dillman]], [[Gustave DorΓ©]], [[Brian Froud]], [[Warwick Goble]], [[Jasmine Becket-Griffith]], [[Rebecca Guay]], [[Florence Harrison]], [[Alan Lee (illustrator)|Alan Lee]], [[Ida Rentoul Outhwaite]], Myrea Pettit, [[Arthur Rackham]], [[Suza Scalora]], and [[Nene Thomas]].<ref name=tws08>{{cite magazine| author = Gates, David | title = Nothing Here But Kid Stuff| magazine = Newsweek| date = November 29, 1999| url = http://www.newsweek.com/id/90381| access-date = 2009-08-19}}</ref> The [[Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor, MI]] are small doors installed into local buildings. Local children believe these are the front doors of [[fairy houses]], and in some cases, small furniture, dishes, and various other things can be seen beyond the doors. The [[Victorian era]] was particularly noted for fairy paintings. The Victorian painter [[Richard Dadd]] created paintings of fairy-folk with a sinister and malign tone. Other Victorian artists who depicted fairies include [[John Anster Fitzgerald]], [[John Atkinson Grimshaw]], [[Daniel Maclise]], and [[Joseph Noel Paton]].<ref>{{cite web|author-link=Terri Windling|last=Windling|first= Terri|url=http://www.endicott-studio.com/gal/galvctf.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061111095722/http://www.endicott-studio.com/gal/galvctf.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=2006-11-11|title= Victorian Fairy Paintings|website=endicott-studio.com |date=2006-11-11 }}</ref> Interest in fairy-themed art enjoyed a brief renaissance following the publication of the [[Cottingley Fairies]] photographs in 1920, and a number of artists turned to painting fairy themes.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}
