EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving takes us into the realm of legend and superstition. Titled "A fantastic hunt (aerian or wild) or Menee (the Menee Hellequin) or Mesnie in the Vosges" it depicts a nocturnal tempest that is said to materialize after a curse or a sabbath of witches. The unknown artist skillfully captures the eerie atmosphere and mysterious allure surrounding this phenomenon. Intriguingly, the print portrays an otherworldly hunt, with ethereal figures riding through stormy skies on fantastical creatures. The scene exudes both danger and enchantment as these spectral beings traverse the Vosges mountains in pursuit of their elusive prey. The image resonates with elements of French folklore, witchcraft, and occult science. It offers a glimpse into a world where reality blurs with myth, where curses hold power over nature itself. This engraving serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with the supernatural and our desire to explore realms beyond our understanding. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork by Giancarlo Costa invites contemplation on themes such as destiny, fate, and the interplay between man and nature. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from centuries past, we are reminded that there is still much about our world that remains shrouded in mystery – waiting to be discovered by those brave enough to venture into its depths.
