EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "A Horned Witch" the viewer is transported back to the 18th century, where a mysterious and enchanting figure takes center stage. The French School artist skillfully portrays Katharina Kepler, mother of renowned scientist Johannes Kepler, who was unfortunately accused of witchcraft during her lifetime. The horned witch gazes directly at us with an intense and piercing stare, exuding an air of otherworldly power. Her earring and necklace shimmer with elegance, adorned with precious pearls that hint at her supernatural nature. The intricate details in her portrait showcase the artist's mastery in capturing every nuance of expression and texture. Despite being labeled as a monster by society due to accusations of witchcraft, Katharina Kepler's portrait challenges these perceptions. She stands tall and proud, defying societal norms with her unique appearance. This painting serves as a reminder that true beauty lies beyond conventional standards. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from their private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are reminded of the resilience and strength embodied by those who have faced unjust persecution throughout history.
