EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 17th century depicts a scene straight out of folklore and superstition. A witch, riding a goat (often associated with the devil), soars through the sky, casting rain down from the clouds below. The intricate details in this artwork showcase the skill of the artist and draw viewers into a world where magic and mystery reign supreme.
The image is taken from Compendium Maleficarum, a notorious book on witchcraft written by Francesco Maria Guazzo during a time when belief in witches and their supposed powers was widespread. The symbolism of the witch riding on a goat, traditionally seen as an animal connected to evil forces, adds to the dark allure of this piece.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where fear of witches and sorcery gripped society. The contrast between light and shadow in the composition enhances the eerie atmosphere surrounding this supernatural scene.
Whether you believe in magic or not, there's no denying that this image evokes a sense of wonder and intrigue. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with tales of enchantment and mysticism throughout history.
