The Vision of Faust (1878).
A suitably sorcerous bacchanal for Walpurgis Night by the Spanish painter. There’s more of his voluptuous erotica at ArtMagick and The Atheneum.
The Witches Sabbath aka Muse of the Night (1880).

there sould be a place on the web where you can download huge versions of cool pictures like this so you can tile print them so they are big enough to cover a wall…
are there infact such places?

You can try making your own using the Rasterbator. I’ve not tried it but some of the results look good. I’d guess having a simple picture to begin with helps, and as large as you can find.

Hey, John
Gorgeous witches, this guy has painted back in the 19th Century! Lucky him, with all those live models…!

Hi Sia. I doubt that painting is for sale, if that’s what you’re asking about.
