EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "De magicis mulieribus" takes us back in time to the 16th century. It is an illustration from the renowned book "Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus" by Olaus Magnus, published in Rome in 1555. The image depicts a scene of great turmoil and danger at sea. A powerful storm rages as a ship battles against the fierce winds and crashing waves. On board, we see both men and women desperately trying to survive this treacherous ordeal. One woman stands out amongst the chaos, dressed in a magnificent coat that billows dramatically in the wind. She exudes an air of enchantment and mystery, suggesting she possesses some form of magical power over the elements. As rain pours down relentlessly, threatening to sink their vessel, it becomes evident that these individuals are sailing along the Scandinavian coastline. The harsh climate of Northern Europe has always posed challenges for seafarers throughout history. This evocative image not only captures a moment of intense drama but also offers insight into Norse mythology and maritime life during this era. It serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle against nature's forces while hinting at ancient beliefs in goddesses and witches who could control such tempestuous conditions. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today with its depiction of human resilience amidst nature's fury
