EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the "Compendium Maleficarum" by Francesco Maria Guazzo. In this intriguing image, we witness a witch riding on the back of a goat, delving into the depths of occult science and witchcraft. The composition is filled with an air of mystery and enchantment as the girl, transformed into an otherworldly being, confidently takes charge of her goatee companion. The intricate details in Stefano Bianchetti's engraving bring to life this imaginary character, blurring the lines between human and monster. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes apparent that it is not just a simple depiction but rather an exploration of witches' evil practices and sorcery. Guazzo's "Compendium Maleficarum" published in 1608, serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding these dark arts. The anonymity surrounding this private collection adds another layer of intrigue to this already enigmatic piece. It reminds us that throughout history, there have been those who sought forbidden knowledge beyond what society deemed acceptable. In summary, Stefano Bianchetti's evocative portrayal captures the essence of witchcraft and its association with animals like goats. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to contemplate the boundaries between good and evil while immersing themselves in centuries-old occult traditions documented by Guazzo himself.
