![]() ![]() The subject of the work is quite mysterious. You can almost feel and hear the impact of this unholy procession. The witch in question is squeezing the life out of little children while strapping young attendants noisily lead the way through a marsh like environment, disturbing the geese or ducks out of their nesting ground. The print reveals an impossible parade of grotesque figures, with an old woman at the center with open mouth and wild flowing hair seated on a skeletal creature. This large print treats a highly unusual subject for Italian art, one you would normally find in the work of German or Dutch Renaissance artists like Baldung Grien or Hieronymus Bosch in darker and colder Northern European regions. With the approach of Halloween, and the days getting shorter and darker, I got inspired to investigate the story behind one of the more grotesque and interesting Italian prints in our collection.

If you would like a particular image size, no border, or a larger border (1/2 inch or 1 inch), please send a request and most adjustments can be accommodated at no extra charge. Please note that since these are vintage images, they do not always conform exactly to the standard paper sizes - this means some images will have a slightly larger white border on two sides to allow the image to fit with no cropping (the paper size stays the same, but if an image is more narrow or short than the closest standard paper size, the borders will be slightly larger on two sides). To flatten rolled prints, they can be laid out under a stack of heavy books. Rolled prints are packaged around the outside of a tube and then bubble-wrapped and placed inside a long box - this is because the thick fine art paper cannot be rolled tightly enough to go inside the tubes without causing damage to the paper. Prints may be shipped either flat or rolled, depending on size. Shipping is USPS First-Class with tracking, and orders over $35 in the United States ship free. Processing time before shipment is 1-3 business days. Although custom requests are welcome, please note that the print sizes are listed to the largest possible size for each image.
