Abstract
The present Master’s thesis
seeks to develop a better understanding of two influential series of witchcraft
prints and drawings: the woodcuts of Ulrich Molitor’s De lamiis et pythonicis
mulieribus and three of Hans Baldung’s works. I will begin with a discussion of
the role that gender played during the witch trials and how it influenced two
of the woodcuts in De lamiis. Following the discussion of gender, I will
examine the remaining De lamiis woodcuts in the context of the text and other
visual sources. Finally, I will end with three of Hans Baldung’s witchcraft
images, describing how they reflected and expanded established motifs.
