| This study seeks to demonstrate that the timing, subject, and audience for the art of Dürer and Grien all argue aginst the view that the witches in their prints and drawings were a reaction to actual witch-hunts, trials, or malevolent treatises such as the "Malleus maleficiarum". The witch craz did not gain momentum until late in the sixteenth century while the witches of Dürer and Hans Baldung Grien belong to an earlier era. They are more plausible as a response to humanist interst in the poetry and satire of the classical world, and are better understood as poetic constructions created to serve artistic goals and satisfy a humanist audience | |
