"Macbeth and the Witches" is a lithograph by Eugène Delacroix from 1825 and now resides at the Musée national Eugène Delacroix in Paris, France. The artwork depicts a scene from Shakespeare's play Macbeth, where the titular character encounters the three witches. Delacroix's use of dramatic chiaroscuro and dynamic composition enhances the sense of suspense and foreboding. This lithograph demonstrates Delacroix's talent for capturing both the emotional and theatrical qualities of literary works, and his ability to translate them into a compelling visual language.
