EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from 1685 depicts the chilling tale of the "Werewolf of Eschenbach" and its dramatic conclusion in Germany. The print showcases a scene where the fearsome werewolf finds itself trapped within a well, surrounded by an eerie atmosphere. Standing nearby is an effigy of the werewolf, eerily clothed as a man, suspended from a gibbet. The artist's attention to detail brings out the horror and ugliness associated with this mythical creature. Its menacing appearance sends shivers down one's spine, while its piercing eyes seem to hold evil intentions. The engraved lines skillfully capture every terrifying aspect of this legendary beast. Intriguingly, men armed with pitchforks and other weapons are seen cautiously observing this macabre spectacle. Their presence suggests their determination to protect their community from any harm that may befall them due to this monstrous being. This historical artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also offers insight into German folklore during that era. It highlights society's fascination with supernatural creatures like werewolves and how they were perceived as threats that needed to be eliminated. As we delve into this mesmerizing print, it transports us back in time, allowing us to witness both the terror and resilience displayed by humanity when faced with such mythical adversaries.
