EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful woodcut illustration from a 1626 edition of 'Compendium Maleficarum' by Francesco Maria Guazzo captures the dark and mysterious world of witchcraft and black magic.

The intricate details of this print draw you into a realm of occult science and spiritualism, where evil forces lurk behind every corner. The Latin text adds an air of mystery to the image, inviting viewers to delve deeper into its secrets.
Francesco Maria Guazzo's 'Compendium Maleficarum' is a chilling reminder of the hysteria surrounding witch hunts during this time period. The illustrations within the book served as visual aids for identifying witches and understanding their supposed powers.
