EDITORS COMMENTS
In this colorised print from 1562, we witness the mystical power of a witch as she raises a tempestuous storm. The image is taken from Olaus Magnus' Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus and showcases the artist's skillful woodcut technique. The scene unfolds against a darkened sky, where billowing clouds gather ominously, hinting at the impending chaos about to be unleashed upon the world. The witch herself stands at the center of this meteorological spectacle, her figure both enchanting and foreboding. With arms outstretched towards the heavens, she commands nature with an otherworldly authority. Her spellbinding presence seems to merge seamlessly with the atmospheric elements surrounding her - wind howls through twisted branches while lightning crackles across the sky. This mesmerizing artwork not only captures our imagination but also provides insight into historical beliefs and superstitions surrounding magic and witchcraft during that era. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with occult practices and their attempts to understand natural phenomena through supernatural means. Through careful colorisation techniques employed by The Print Collector, this ancient black-and-white print has been brought back to life in vivid hues. This restoration breathes new energy into an already captivating piece of art history, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and immerse ourselves in its magical narrative once more.
