EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Witch hunt: witches, c1799 (1956)" takes us back to the 18th century in Spain. Created by Francisco Goya, a renowned Spanish artist, this artwork is part of the volume Ideas published by Readers Union in London in 1956. The image transports us to a time when witchcraft was believed to be real and feared. In this monochrome scene, we witness a group of witches taking flight on their broomsticks against an eerie backdrop. Goya's masterful brushstrokes capture the essence of magic and mystery surrounding these supernatural beings. The print serves as a reminder of the historical context where witch hunts were prevalent across Europe during that era. It evokes curiosity about how society perceived witches and their alleged powers. The details within the artwork showcase Goya's exceptional talent for capturing emotions through his subjects' expressions and body language. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it becomes evident why Francisco Goya remains one of history's most celebrated artists. His ability to convey both beauty and darkness through his art continues to captivate audiences centuries later. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only Goya's artistic genius but also offers insight into the cultural beliefs and superstitions that shaped our past.
