Hans Baldung Witches’ Sabbath 1510. Propaganda sheet justifying mass murder of mystics and healers . Yesterday I had a rummage in my favourite bric a brac shop in Goring and found this early lithograph . Baldung work backed up the popular notion that woman were more prone to witchcraft as they are more material and are addicted to evil superstitions ! He confirms the misogynist double fantasy that all witches are woman & all woman are potentially witches ! The Malleus goes on to describe 80% of the some 10,000 witches executed in Europe between 1400 and 1700 were woman ! Terrifying times #art#lithograph#witch#witches (at Goring On Thames Uk) -- source link
