EDITORS COMMENTS
This painting by Salvator Rosa, titled Scenes of Witchcraft: Day, transports us to a world of mystery and enchantment. The scene at noon showcases a group of eerie witches, with hoary hags clutching skulls, wielding brooms, and slicing lizards in preparation for their journey to the Sabbath - an orgy of witches.
Rosa's treatment of witches is both haunting and mesmerizing, as he captures the essence of magic and darkness in his work. The fantastical creatures depicted in the painting add to the sense of otherworldly beauty that permeates through every brushstroke.
The colors used by Rosa are rich and vibrant, adding depth and dimension to this 17th-century masterpiece. The inclusion of owls perched ominously in the background only adds to the overall atmosphere of horror and intrigue.
As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back in time to a period where witchcraft was both feared and revered. The Italian artist's attention to detail and skillful execution make this piece a true work of art that continues to captivate viewers centuries later. Scenes of Witchcraft: Day is not just a painting; it is an experience that immerses us in a world where magic reigns supreme.
