EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a world of witchcraft and the occult. The image depicts "The Devil, in the form of a flying goat, carrying a witch to the Sabbath" as described by Francesco Maria Guazzo in his renowned work on witchcraft, Compendium Maleficarum. In this woodcut masterpiece, we witness an eerie scene where a majestic flying goat soars through the night sky with its hooves barely touching the ground. Its powerful wings spread wide open as it carries a mysterious figure - a witch - towards their unholy gathering known as the Sabbath. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystique and darkness to this religiously charged artwork. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted beliefs about magic and devilry were during that time period. The intricate details captured by Francesco M Guazzo's hand showcase his skillful craftsmanship and dedication to depicting these supernatural elements. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where fear and fascination intertwined with notions of Christianity and spirituality. It is both mesmerizing and unsettling; inviting us to explore our own perceptions of good versus evil while contemplating humanity's eternal curiosity for what lies beyond our understanding.
