EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Saul and the Witch of Endor, 1792" transports us to a scene from the Bible, specifically 1 Samuel 28. In this powerful image, we witness King Saul's desperate attempt to communicate with the deceased prophet Samuel through the aid of a witch. The woman, depicted as an enigmatic figure with her magical abilities, brings forth Samuel from beneath the earth in an act known as necromancy. This monochrome engraving by Henry Fuseli captures both the intensity and complexity of this biblical event. It showcases not only Saul's yearning for guidance but also his promise not to harm the witch who facilitates this supernatural encounter. Set against an eighteenth-century backdrop, this print delves into themes of communication and spirituality within Christianity. It serves as a reminder of mankind's eternal fascination with life after death and our desire for divine intervention. Fuseli masterfully portrays each character's emotions - Saul's anticipation mixed with trepidation; the witch’s mysterious power; and Samuel’s ethereal presence emerging from beneath the ground. This visual representation invites contemplation on faith, mortality, and human limitations when faced with forces beyond our comprehension. As we explore this remarkable piece of artistry from Jean Henri Fuseli (also known as Johann Heinrich Füssli), it is impossible not to be captivated by its rich symbolism and profound religious significance.
