EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the eerie and atmospheric scene of "A Witches Sabbath" painted by Cornelis Saftleven in 1650. The oil on panel artwork, measuring 54.3x78.2 cm, is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago as part of the George F. Porter Collection. In this baroque masterpiece, a coven of witches engages in a sinister gathering under the moonlit sky. With broomsticks in hand, they ride through the night alongside grotesque beasts and hybrid creatures. Winged demons and horned devils add to the macabre ambiance while conjuring supernatural forces. The painting's dark tones and intricate details evoke a sense of evil and mystery that surrounds witchcraft and satanism during that era. It serves as a chilling reminder of society's fascination with the occult during this time period. Saftleven's skillful brushwork brings to life an otherworldly realm where magic reigns supreme. This piece is both bizarre and mesmerizing, drawing viewers into its spellbinding narrative. As Halloween approaches, "A Witches Sabbath" becomes even more relevant, reminding us of our fascination with all things spooky and supernatural. Its presence on display at The Art Institute of Chicago allows art enthusiasts to delve into the depths of darkness within this intriguing genre.
