拍品专文

A naked witch astride a giant dinosaur's skeleton, accompanied by goats and nude men, one of whom is riding another, bird-like skeleton with two heads and four legs, all rushing along in a nocturnal procession - this engraving is undoubtedly one of the most bizarre compositions in the history of printmaking. The Mannerist painter and art theoretician Giampaolo Lomazzo (1538-92) mentioned it together with Dürer's and (also in this sale) and Schongauer's as examples of nightmarish visions. He attributed the composition of the print, known as ('' or ) to Michelangelo and named Marcantonio Raimondi as the engraver. However he failed to recognise that the witch is in fact very closely based on Dürer's engraving , where the same figure is depicted riding backwards on a goat. Certainly a pastiche of many elements and influences, is now unanimously attributed to Agostino Veneziano and stands as one of the strangest and most grandiose prints of its time, and a great example of mannerist eccentricity.
