EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a pivotal moment in biblical history. Titled "Saul with the Witch of Endor Eleventh Book" it depicts an intense scene where Saul, accompanied by two loyal servants, seeks the aid of a witch to communicate with the spirit of Samuel. The composition is strikingly divided into two distinct parts. On the left side, we witness Saul and his servants huddled together in anticipation and trepidation. Their body language conveys their desperation and vulnerability as they embark on this forbidden encounter. In stark contrast, the background reveals a haunting sight - the ethereal figure of Samuel materializing before them. The artist skillfully captures both his spectral presence and Saul's profound reaction as he falls prostrate to the ground in awe. The dark space surrounding them is filled with diabolical figures and skulls, symbolizing the sinister nature of their actions. This serves as a reminder that meddling with forces beyond human comprehension can have dire consequences. Created by Simon Fokke in Amsterdam during 1766 using paper etching techniques, this print belongs to a larger series illustrating David and Saul's tumultuous story. It showcases Fokke's mastery at capturing dramatic moments infused with spiritual significance. Through this evocative image, we are invited to reflect on themes such as power struggles, moral dilemmas, and humanity's eternal fascination with life after death.
