The Witches’ Sabbath c. 1831 - 1833

"The Witches’ Sabbath" (c. 1831-1833) by Eugène Delacroix is a Romantic-era painting that depicts a scene of witchcraft and chaos. The artwork is characterized by its dark and dramatic palette, with swirling clouds and a desolate landscape. In the foreground, a group of figures are gathered around a bonfire, their faces obscured by shadows. The figures in the foreground appear to be dancing, their bodies contorted and grotesque, symbolizing the uncontrolled energy and unnatural powers associated with witches.
