EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copy of an illustration titled "The Devil pointing out Hidden Treasures". Originating from the 16th-century book Le Veritable Dragon Rouge, published in Lille in 1521, this woodcut has found its way into a late 19th-century History of Magic. The image is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. In this intriguing artwork, we witness the embodiment of evil itself: Satan. With his sinister gaze and wicked grin, he stands tall while indicating hidden treasures to those who dare to succumb to temptation. This depiction perfectly captures the allure and danger associated with occult practices during the 16th century. The woodcut technique employed by the French School artist adds depth and texture to this historical piece. Its inclusion in a publication on magic further emphasizes its significance within that context. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in the enigmatic world of witchcraft and sorcery. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, mankind has been both fascinated and fearful of supernatural forces lurking just beyond our grasp. This particular print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind it but also provides insight into cultural beliefs surrounding treasure hunting and satanic influences during one of history's most fascinating periods - the sixteenth century.
