It is interesting to observe the way that female Saints like Joan of Arc enthrall people who in other areas of their life are quite uninterested or even antipathetic toward the Catholic Church. I think this is because the female Saints represent an emancipation of the feminine genius, a true "feminism," that emerged far before the modern movement.

The way that Margaret Bowland depicts little girls with their faces painted white, wearing cotton wreaths on their heads or how she paints little people in a grand style that's reminiscent of Manet, the famous 19th Century French painter, conjure up ideas about deeply rooted beliefs and societal prejudices. Bowland speaks about her work as a reaction to common mainstream belief structures. She identifies this societal ideal as “One must be tall, thin and white. One’s features must be diminutive and regular.” Read more after the jump!

"The Witches' Sabbath" is a painting by Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. The painting depicts a scene of witches gathering for a Sabbath, a ritual or celebration associated with witchcraft and the devil. In the painting, Goya has created a sinister and ominous atmosphere, with the figures of the witches depicted in dark, shadowy tones against a night sky. The composition is crowded and chaotic, with the witches arranged in a jumbled mass, as if caught in the midst of a frenzied celebration. The use of light and color is also striking, with the bright, ghostly light of the moon illuminating the scene and casting deep shadows. The painting is notable for its eerie and disturbing content, as it reflects the fear and superstition surrounding witchcraft and the devil in Goya's time. Through his depiction of the witches' Sabbath, Goya sought to convey a sense of horror and to challenge viewers' preconceptions about the supernatural.   Print: A premium quality heavyweight (200gsm) fine art print material with a smooth, clean finish.
