EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Walpurghis Night (engraving)", transports us to the mystical realm of German folklore. The image depicts a scene from Goethe's Faust, showcasing the famous German witches' sabbath held on May 1st. Engraved by Michael Herz, this artwork captures the essence of spiritual and supernatural elements. In this enchanting composition, we witness a gathering of ethereal beings known as the "children of the night". Bathed in torchlight, these mysterious figures engage in a mesmerizing ritualistic dance amidst swirling smoke and flickering flames. The atmosphere is charged with an otherworldly energy as demons and ghouls join them in their nocturnal celebration. The Walpurgis Night ceremony takes place in the Harz Mountains, where popular belief intertwines with myth and legend. This event is dedicated to Saint Walpurga, also known as Walburga or Walpurgisnacht. As depicted here, it serves as a meeting ground for sorceresses who wield ancient powers. Goethe's influence shines through this evocative portrayal of witchcraft and mysticism. His literary prowess has immortalized him as one of Germany's most celebrated writers from the 17th century. Through his words, he brings forth powerful female characters who challenge societal norms. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an enigmatic world where fire dances with darkness and spirituality merges with folklore. It serves as a testament
