EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 19th century transports us into a world of enchantment and superstition. In this mesmerizing print, we witness a group of witches gracefully soaring through the night sky on their broomsticks. Against the backdrop of moonlit rooftops and an imposing clock tower, these sorceresses defy gravity with their magical flight. The image is rich in symbolism, exploring themes of witchcraft, occult science, and spiritualism prevalent during that era. The artist skillfully captures the essence of midnight's witching hour when supernatural forces are said to be at their strongest. The women depicted here embody both power and mystery as they engage in incantations and wizardry. This exceptional chromolithograph showcases remarkable attention to detail and vibrant colors that bring this fantastical scene to life. It was originally created as an illustration for "Las Supersticiones De La Humanidad" by Jose Coroleu in 1881, a book delving into humanity's fascination with superstitions. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, it serves as a reminder of mankind's enduring interest in the mystical realm. Whether one believes in such phenomena or not, there is no denying the allure that witches hold over our collective imagination throughout history. This print invites us to explore our own beliefs about magic and wonder while appreciating the artistic mastery behind its creation.
