Dear Art Conversation Visitors,

I brought up Ekphrastic Art in one of my posts here the other day.

Here is an example of Ekphrastic Art/Ekphrasis:

John Quidor, "The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane", 1858
http://eyelevel.si.edu/
The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane - Speaking of Pictures Interactive
http://americanart.si.edu/collection.../sp_quidor.cfm

Quidor has done a work of art based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

I am researching this topic for my husband who is an English teacher.
If there is interest, I will post more here.

Thought you might enjoy this article.
