Falero painted witches.
But the women in this painting are not really there to frighten you.
They are there to embody something far more seductive — and far more dangerous.
Luis Ricardo Falero painted Witches Going to the Sabbath in 1878.
Look at the women: their poses, their bodies, the way they twist through the night...
They are not monsters. They are beautiful, sensual and deliberately alluring.
That was the point.
The demons and symbols of the occult are almost secondary.
Your eye keeps returning to the women. And that is where the painting's real tension lies:
Are you looking at witches...or at a 19th-century temptation?
