Witches' Lust and the Fall of Man: The Strange Fantasies of Hans Baldung Grien

This exhibition centers on the painting Zwei Hexen (Two Witches) by the great painter and printmaker of the German Renaissance, Hans Baldung Grien, and flanks it with his drawings and woodcuts, including depictions of women—from the first mother, Eve, to contemporaneous witches—that are at times quite risqué. Baldung’s female nudes were not simply breaches of contemporary taboos, they also reflected in an unusually clear way on the erotic power of women. An exceptionally intellectual painter, Baldung also treated such themes as contemporary views of witches, and one painting even refers to a then very serious threat to love: syphilis.
Curator: Dr. Bodo Brinkmann
