EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Witches Sabbath, 1606" an extraordinary oil painting by Francken, Frans II the Younger. Displayed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK, this masterpiece is part of The Stapleton Collection and represents Flemish art from the early 17th century. The painting depicts a mystical scene filled with elements of witchcraft and sorcery. In a dimly lit room adorned with skulls and cauldrons, witches gather for their unholy gathering. Demons lurk in the shadows while familiars - magical animal companions - accompany their spellcasting masters. A heart lies on a table as if it were an ingredient for some dark recipe. Francken's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each figure exudes both menace and fascination. The artist skillfully captures the essence of witchery through his portrayal of these supernatural beings engaged in mysterious rituals. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported into a world where magic reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, tales of witches and sorcerers have captivated our imaginations with their power to manipulate reality through spells and incantations. This print allows us to appreciate Francken's talent while also immersing ourselves in the enigmatic realm he has created on canvas. It invites us to explore our own beliefs about magic and its place within our collective consciousness.
