EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Wicked Witchcraft" we are transported back to the year 1650, immersing ourselves in a world of mysticism and enchantment. The image captures a group of witches as they prepare for an extraordinary journey atop their broomsticks towards the ominous Black Mountain. The Dutch copperplate by Adrianus Hubertus beautifully portrays these powerful women, who stand proudly amidst the backdrop of an ancient landscape. With nudity serving as a symbol of liberation and vulnerability, it is clear that these witches fearlessly embrace their supernatural abilities. As our eyes wander through the composition, we notice various elements that add to the allure of this scene. A mystical animal companion stands faithfully beside one witch, while others hold brushes and broomsticks with utmost determination. A flickering fire illuminates their faces, casting eerie shadows upon a skull resting nearby—a reminder of the occult forces they command. This early depiction showcases how witchcraft was imagined during its historical context—an intriguing blend of fear and fascination surrounding female power and knowledge beyond conventional understanding. With its original format preserved meticulously in this print from Fine Art Storehouse's collection curated by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we find ourselves captivated by every detail—each stroke on copperplate revealing secrets from centuries past. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with magic and our eternal quest for answers beyond what meets the eye.
