The Four Witches (Four Naked Women), 1497
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Albrecht Dürer captures the captivating yet dangerous allure of licentious witches during the 16th and 17th centuries. In this intriguing print, four fleshy women exchange mysterious glances, hinting at their sinister intentions that threatened to disrupt the patriarchal order of society. Dürer masterfully creates a threatening atmosphere by incorporating subtle elements. A devil lurks behind an open doorway on the left side, symbolizing the dark forces these seductive witches possess. Moreover, a globe hanging from the ceiling bears an inscription that reads "O. G. H" or "Oh God, save us" serving as a plea for protection against these sensual enchantresses. The artwork's significance lies in its portrayal of societal anxieties surrounding powerful women who challenged traditional gender roles. During this period, witchcraft was seen as a threat to male dominance and social norms. Dürer's depiction highlights both fascination and fear towards these bewitching figures. This engraving showcases Dürer's exceptional skill in capturing intricate details and evoking emotions through his artistry. It is housed in The Cleveland Museum of Art and remains an important piece within German Renaissance art history.
