EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Old-Maid Witch" takes us back to the enchanting world of the 19th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this print is a true gem from a private collection. The image has been digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. The illustration originally appeared in Paul Lacroix's book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" published by Bickers in 1878. It depicts an old-maid witch, a character that embodies both mystery and wisdom. Her presence evokes thoughts of medieval times and the consolation of philosophy. The woodcut technique used in this engraving adds depth and texture to the artwork, transporting us to another era. It is reminiscent of early Renaissance works by artists like Holbein, particularly his famous illustrations for Boethius' German translation. The choice of firwood as the material for this print further enhances its connection with nature and tradition. The aging process gives it a unique charm, reminding us of firewood ready to be kindled on a cold winter night. As we admire this facsimile edition from Augsburg in 1537, we are reminded that art has no expiration date; it continues to captivate audiences across centuries. Bridgeman Images allows us access to this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder, inviting us into a world where imagination meets history seamlessly.
