Witches Preparing for Sabbath, ca. 1610
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the mystical world of the 17th century. Created by Andries Stock, this Netherlandish masterpiece showcases the intricate details of witchcraft and occult practices. In this intriguing scene, elderly women gather in a dimly lit room, surrounded by an array of supernatural elements. A broomstick leans against a wall while cats roam freely among cauldrons filled with bubbling potions. The nakedness of these witches adds an air of vulnerability as they engage in their mysterious rituals. Amidst the chaos, an allegorical figure representing death stands ominously nearby, reminding us of the dark forces at play. Lightning strikes outside, symbolizing the stormy weather brewing both within and without. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; bones are scattered on tables alongside mushrooms and vegetables used in spellcasting. A salamander crawls across one woman's hand while demons lurk in shadows cast by candlelight. This print captures not only the fascination with witchcraft during that era but also serves as a reminder of society's fear and misunderstanding surrounding these powerful women who dared to challenge societal norms. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Witches Preparing for Sabbath" invites viewers to delve into a world where magic reigns supreme and challenges our perceptions about good versus evil.
