EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print from 1489 depicts a scene of witchcraft and the supernatural. In this image, we see a powerful female witch aiming her bow and arrow towards an unsuspecting man's foot. The arrow is no ordinary projectile; it has been enchanted using a hazel wand, adding an element of mysticism to the act. The intensity of the moment is palpable as the witch takes aim with precision, ready to unleash her magical powers upon her target. The man stands defenseless, unaware of the impending injury about to befall him. This portrayal highlights both the vulnerability of humanity in the face of supernatural forces and the potential danger that can arise from crossing paths with those who possess occult knowledge. Created during the medieval period, this woodcut offers us a glimpse into beliefs surrounding witches and their abilities in 15th-century Europe. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained these concepts were within society at that time. With its monochromatic palette and intricate details, this print captures our imagination while simultaneously evoking curiosity about ancient practices and superstitions. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary event unfolding before our eyes – one where magic meets reality in a world filled with mystery and wonder.
