Incantation Scene with WitchJohann Heinrich Füssli

This drawing (1779) shows a witch near an altar, surrounded by spectral figures. Created with graphite, pen, and ink, it captures the era's fascination with the supernatural. Despite the Enlightenment's skepticism, Füssli often explored ghostly themes, reflecting a tension between rationality and belief in the mystical. His work critiques the era's miraculous beliefs while engaging with its imaginative allure.
