"The scene—featuring a monstrous creature conjured by an evil rite, a terrified sorcerer fleeing the scene, and an unsuspecting, bound child destined for sacrifice—clearly reveals its debt to the paintings of magic and witchcraft created by Salvator Rosa during his Florentine period (autumn 1639–1650), works that were highly coveted by connoisseurs."
Gonnelli
*This demon is inspired by the painting A Scene Of Witchcraft (1674) by FGS.
It's odd, I can't find much about this painting. It was created by someone inspired by or directly taught by Salvator Rosa who signed the painting "FGS 1674".
What I look for when I search out inspiration for these drawings is truly unique ideas. A humanoid demon with horns isn't gonna do it for me. I need a guy like this: two heads (one goat, one bird) a scaly neck, insectoid body and hot hooves! Not to mention wayyyy too many joints!
