EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, we are transported into the dark and mysterious world of Goethe's Faust. Created by the talented French artist Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix in 1828, this illustration brings to life a pivotal moment in the story. Mephistopheles, the devilish companion of Faust, leads his unsuspecting counterpart through the night towards an eerie gathering known as the Sabbath. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and intrigue as they traverse a desolate landscape illuminated only by moonlight. Delacroix skillfully captures the contrasting personalities of these two characters. Mephistopheles exudes confidence and mischief, depicted with sharp features and a mischievous grin. In contrast, Faust appears hesitant yet curious, his face reflecting both fear and fascination at what lies ahead. The composition is masterfully executed; our gaze follows their winding path through twisted trees that seem to whisper secrets in hushed tones. The presence of snakes slithering around them adds an element of danger and temptation to their journey. This print serves as a visual representation of Goethe's timeless tale - exploring themes such as desire for knowledge, moral dilemmas, and ultimately redemption. It invites us to ponder on our own inner struggles while immersing ourselves in this hauntingly beautiful realm created by Delacroix's artistic genius. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us be reminded that art has the power to transport us beyond
