Exploring the feminization of witchcraft in fifteenth-century Germany, the essay analyzes how contemporary artists depicted witches as embodiments of the evil old woman archetype. It highlights the transition of these figures into eroticized representations, portraying them as young seductresses involved in diabolical sexual acts. The study also discusses how the witchcraft theme allowed artists to illustrate women in sexually suggestive and even pornographic poses, marking a significant shift in the portrayal of women in German art during this period.
