EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 16th-century xylography, we are transported into a world of dark enchantment and supernatural forces. The print depicts an eerie scene where the devil himself emerges from the depths of hell to claim a witch who has fallen under his spell. Mounted on a majestic horse, the devil's monstrous form is juxtaposed against the delicate figure of the witch he kidnaps. With his menacing presence and twisted horns, he exudes power and malevolence as he reaches out to snatch her away. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life an allegory that explores themes of witchcraft and occult science prevalent during that era. The unknown artist skillfully captures both fear and fascination in this haunting image. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, our imagination runs wild with questions about what led to this momentous encounter between man and demon. What sins or forbidden knowledge did the witch possess? And what fate awaits her as she is taken away by such a diabolical creature? Giancarlo Costa's preservation of this remarkable piece allows us to delve into centuries-old beliefs surrounding mythical creatures, witches, and their mysterious connection with horses. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time, offering glimpses into worlds beyond our own reality.
