Lo Stregozzo (The Witches' Procession)

This engraving depicts a nocturnal, hellish procession of figures moving rapidly through a wild, overgrown landscape. In the center, a skeletal chariot—formed from ribcages and disjointed bones—is propelled by figures, while other witches ride upon or accompany the strange machine. The scene is marked by high energy, grotesque anatomy, and a sense of chaotic, supernatural movement.

This print reflects the early modern fascination with the 'witches' Sabbath' as a site of liminality and subversion of the natural order. It serves as a visual correlate to the increasing demonological literature of the early 16th century, exploring the boundaries between the human, the bestial, and the occult.
