EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, we are transported into the dark realm of Goethe's Faust. The scene depicts Faust and Mephistopheles at the Witches Sabbath, a pivotal moment in the renowned literary work. Created by Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix in 1828, this print beautifully captures the essence of the supernatural and macabre. The image is filled with an array of monstrous creatures that surround our central characters. A menacing snake slithers through the air, adding to the eerie atmosphere. Mephistopheles, portrayed as a devilish figure, stands tall beside Faust, his sinister presence palpable. At the heart of it all is a sorceress who commands attention with her commanding gaze and mysterious aura. She embodies both power and danger as she orchestrates this unholy gathering known as a sabbat. Delacroix's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to each element within this composition. The contrast between darkness and illumination heightens our sense of foreboding while highlighting key details such as facial expressions or intricate textures. This evocative print serves as a visual testament to Goethe's enduring tale of temptation, desire, and ultimate redemption. It invites us to delve deeper into its narrative depths while marveling at Delacroix's artistic prowess.
