Fotoreproductie van een prent, voorstellende Eckart die kinderen waarschuwt voor de heksen c. 1875 - 1885

This anonymous photo reproduction of a print depicts the story of Eckart, a legendary figure who warns children against witches. Created sometime between 1875 and 1885, the image shows Eckart, clad in a dark cloak, gesturing towards a group of children, who appear to be fleeing a group of witches in the background. The scene, set in a wooded area, captures a moment of fear and tension, echoing the popular folklore associated with the witch trials that were prominent in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and provides a glimpse into the anxieties and beliefs surrounding witchcraft in the past.
