THE WITCHES
OF B Alessandra Cenna
Horrible old women with bubbling pots of potions, witches have entered into legend with black cats and broomsticks. Pieter Bruegel has shaped their image with his brush strokes and those hideous traits took away in their lines the imagination of generations of artists.
Bruges is dedicating an exhibition to the history of the witches’ hunts in the Middle Ages.
Forty works of great Dutch and Flemish masters tell the story of these iconic uglinesses accused of every evil, hated with passion and sent to the pyre for the price of their difference.
A trip into the flames of hell in the heart of the Paradise of Bruges for the myth remains colorful...
