EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1852, an unknown artist takes us into the mystical world of a magician or witch. With her magic wand held high, she stands before a cauldron filled with bubbling potions and surrounded by slithering snakes. The scene is both enchanting and eerie, evoking a sense of ancient sorcery. The artist skillfully captures the intensity on the face of the magician as she prepares sortileges, or spells, using her arsenal of magical tools. Smoke billows around her, adding to the air of mystery that surrounds this powerful figure. The presence of snakes hints at their symbolic significance in witchcraft and occult practices. This intriguing print transports us back to a time when belief in magic was prevalent and mysterious rituals were performed behind closed doors. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have sought to harness supernatural forces for various purposes. Giancarlo Costa's careful restoration has preserved this remarkable piece of art for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its historical context - offering us a glimpse into humanity's fascination with the supernatural and our eternal quest for knowledge beyond what can be explained by science alone.
