EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Evocation of the Devil" a copy of an illustration from Compendium Maleticarum by Fr M Guaccius, Milan 1608. The woodcut was used in a History of Magic published in the late 19th century and is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. With its dark and mysterious ambiance, this image transports us back to the 17th century, where superstition and occult practices were prevalent. A sorcerer can be seen evoking Satan himself, surrounded by an aura of evil. The winged figure represents the devil's supernatural powers and his ability to manipulate those who dare to summon him. This artwork serves as a chilling reminder of humanity's fascination with forbidden knowledge and our eternal struggle between good and evil. It captures the essence of seventeenth-century beliefs in sorcery, satanism, and sorcery. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Italian School artists, we are reminded that history is not only shaped by grand events but also by our collective fears and desires for power beyond mortal comprehension.
