"Demonic: Exploring the Equilibrium of Opposites in Art and History" Delve into the enigmatic world of demons and their representation in art throughout history. From Eliphas Levi's iconic depiction of Baphomet, a symbol embodying the equilibrium between opposing forces, to Francisco Goya's haunting masterpiece "The Witches Sabbath, " we are confronted with the allure and darkness surrounding these supernatural beings. In Herr's mesmerizing painting "Witches Sabbat, " we witness a gathering where witches engage in mysterious rituals, evoking both fear and fascination. Raphael's "The Transfiguration of Christ" captivates us with its portrayal of divine transformation juxtaposed against demonic figures lurking beneath. As we journey through time, we encounter epidemics that plagued humanity during the 16th century, reminding us of our vulnerability to unseen malevolent forces. In "The Vision of Faust, " an oil on canvas by an unknown artist from 1878, Faust is depicted making a pact with a demon – a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked desires. Even Victorian satire did not shy away from exploring themes related to demons; as seen in "Principle and Interest, " society is satirically portrayed as being driven by greed and temptation. The statue of a winged lion with a human head found at Nimrud adds another layer to our understanding of ancient beliefs surrounding hybrid creatures associated with power and mysticism. Shakespearean tragedy comes alive through Henry Fuseli’s painting inspired by Lady Macbeth’s infamous line: “Why then 'tis time to do't. ” This chilling scene captures her descent into madness under demonic influence. Amongst all these depictions lies an eerie reminder - the presence left behind by demonic handprints imprinted on surfaces throughout history. These marks serve as unsettling evidence that there may be more than meets the eye when it comes to supernatural entities. Ultimately, this collection invites contemplation on the blurred boundaries between good and evil, light and darkness.
