James the late emperor of the Devil is stopped the illusions of a magician 1565

Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1565 engraving "James the late emperor of the Devil is stopped the illusions of a magician" depicts a fantastical scene of a magician confronting demons. Bruegel's signature "Bruegel invent." is at the bottom of the artwork. The scene is full of intricate details of devilish figures and their activities, evoking a sense of chaos and the power of magic. This engraving, now housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, showcases Bruegel's mastery of detail and his keen interest in the fantastical. This work exemplifies Bruegel's penchant for social satire and his skill in depicting the human condition through allegorical imagery.
