EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting woodcut print titled "DEVIL AND CHILD, 1498" we are transported back to the late medieval period in Germany. The scene depicts a heart-wrenching moment as a child is forcibly taken away from his parents by none other than Satan himself. It is revealed that the family had made a pact with the devil, and now they must face the consequences of their ill-fated agreement. The artist skillfully captures the anguish and despair on the faces of both mother and father as they helplessly watch their beloved son being snatched away. The intricate details of this woodcut bring to life every emotion etched into their expressions, leaving us feeling an overwhelming sense of sorrow. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the eternal struggle between good and evil, showcasing how even seemingly innocent individuals can be enticed by darkness. It also highlights the importance of familial bonds and serves as a cautionary tale about making deals with malevolent forces. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we cannot help but ponder on its deeper meaning: What choices led this family down such a treacherous path? How will they cope with losing their precious child? And most importantly, what lessons can we learn from their tragic story? "DEVIL AND CHILD, 1498" stands not only as an exquisite example of German woodcut artistry but also as a timeless testament to human vulnerability in the face of temptation and evil's grasp.
