About the piece

Created by the French Romantic master Eugène Delacroix between 1831 and 1833, this atmospheric oil painting depicts a 'Scène de Sabbat' or witches' sabbath. The composition is defined by its dramatic chiaroscuro, with a flickering light illuminating a dense crowd in the foreground while dark, expressive brushwork renders the distant mountains and crumbling gothic arches.
