A famous painting has been reworked to depict Donald Trump as a demon preying on women.

Profits from prints of the picture will go towards Rainn, a US charity dedicated to rape, sexual assault and incest.

The Nightmare, painted by Andrew Fuseli in 1781, depicts a sleeping woman with an incubus demon sat on top of her.

It has been reimagined with Donald Trump, the controversial American presidential candidate who has recently been accused of being sexually derogatory towards women.

The reworked piece of art has been renamed Every Woman’s Nightmare.

You can see the final version of the artwork on this blog post.

Donald Trump, a father to two daughters, was recorded boasting about groping women and saying "when you’re a star…you can do anything". In response to this, profits from prints of the painting will be donated to Rainn, a charity dedicated to helping victims of rape, sexual assault and incest.

In the painting, Donald Trump is depicted as the Incubus, with the original body. However the creature is sporting one of his famous facial expressions that is often shared online in memes, with Trump’s hair running down its back. Every other aspect of the painting has been kept the same, including the victim and the horse.

An Incubus is a demon that takes male form and preys on women.

The painting was commissioned by Nobilified.com, which specialises in replicating classic hand painted portraits with a modern twist.

Chris Jensen, founder of Nobilifed.com said: “I don’t think there’s one person on this planet that hasn’t heard of Donald Trump and his outrageous comments. With the election coming up we wanted to highlight his controversial comments the best way we know how – and The Nightmare seemed liked the perfect painting.

“We will be selling prints of Every Woman’s Nightmare to raise funds for Rainn, a very suitable charity considering the recent revelations about Trump. The original painting will be sent to the White House for the new President to enjoy whether that is Hillary or The Donald!”
