The artwork titled “Saul Consults Samuel After the Witch of Endor Has Conjured” is a religious painting created by the artist Salvator Rosa. This piece belongs to the Baroque art movement and depicts a dramatic and intense biblical scene.
In the artwork, various figures are vividly rendered to illustrate the moment when King Saul, desperate for guidance, seeks out a witch to conjure the spirit of the prophet Samuel. The witch, cloaked in robes, is central in the composition, raising her arms in an act of conjuration, with ethereal and spectral figures emerging around them. King Saul and his men are portrayed in states of awe and trepidation, their expressions and body language conveying the gravity of the supernatural event unfolding before them. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic tension and highlights the mystical atmosphere integral to Baroque art.
