EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century depicts Catherine Deshayes, also known as La Voisin, a woman shrouded in mystery and infamy. La Voisin was the wife of Monvoisin and gained notoriety for her involvement in the Poison Affair during the 17th century. The artist Guillaume Chasteau skillfully captures her enigmatic presence with intricate details that bring this historical figure to life. In this print, we see a woman who is both alluring and unsettling. Her piercing gaze holds secrets untold, hinting at her involvement in witchcraft and occult practices. Surrounding her are symbols of death and darkness – a skeleton, monsters lurking nearby – emphasizing her connection to sinister forces. La Voisin's role in poisoning scandals and alleged connections to witchcraft made her an infamous figure during her time. This engraving serves as a haunting reminder of the dark underbelly of society that existed centuries ago. Leonard de Selva's masterful reproduction brings out every detail of Chasteau's original work, allowing us to delve into the world of occult science and spiritualism that fascinated people during this era. It serves as a chilling memento mori, reminding us that even seemingly ordinary individuals can be drawn into extraordinary circumstances. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one woman's descent into darkness – an embodiment of fear and fascination intertwined within our collective history.
