EDITORS COMMENTS
La Carcasse: A Witch being drawn on the skeleton of a monster," painted by the renowned Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera, also known as Lo Spangoletto, is a captivating and intriguing work of art housed in Apsley House, London. This masterpiece, signed by the artist, is a testament to Ribera's skillful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to evoke a sense of the supernatural. The painting, which is part of the Spanish Royal Collection and was captured at Vitoria in 1813, depicts a grotesque scene of a witch being drawn and quartered over the skeleton of a monstrous creature. The witch, with her long, pointed hat and flowing robes, is shown in a defiant and determined stance as she is dragged by men dressed in armor. The monster beneath her, a grotesque amalgamation of bones and sinew, seems to come alive as it struggles to break free from its confines. The use of light and shadow in the painting is masterful, with the figures of the men and the witch standing out in stark relief against the dark, ominous background. The painting's title, "La Carcasse," refers to the French word for "carrion" or "corpse," adding to the overall sense of decay and death. Ribera's use of the Baroque style is evident in the exaggerated emotions and dramatic poses of the figures, as well as the use of strong contrasts between light and dark. This painting is a fascinating example of the artist's exploration of the supernatural and the macabre, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to captivate and intrigue. The painting's provenance, as part of the Spanish Royal Collection and captured during the Napoleonic Wars, adds to its historical significance and makes it a must-see for art lovers and history buffs alike. This masterpiece, with its intriguing subject matter and stunning execution, continues to captivate and inspire viewers more than 400 years after it was created.
