Hexenlust und Sundenfall / Witches' Lust and the Fall of Man: Die Seltsamen Phantasien des Hans Baldung Grien / The Strange Fantasies of Hans Baldung Grien
by Bodo Brinkmann
from Michael Imhof
Hans Baldung Grien (1484-1545) created many drawings and etchings depicting the fantastic behaviour of witches, but only one painting, the world famous "Two Witches" (1523). With his unique artworks, the painter used the gruesome appearance of the supernatural to give casual viewers a nice "safe" scare. His depictions also made the well-educated think about the erotic charisma of women, love and its possible consequences, and female beauty and its mysteries. Using his art, Grien not only ironically comments on medieval attitudes towards witches, but also on the artistic theories of his master, Albrecht Durer.
