Lightning Struck a Flock of Witches - William Holbrook Beard Art Print

$25USD
Art Print or Framed Canvas?

Fine Art Prints

Wall Art Info

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Wall Art Info

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Wall Art Info

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Wall Art Info

Forget 4 color CMYK. Giclée layers up to 12 — alive with deeper shadows, richer highlights and multidimensional contrasts. Pro-lab printing process helps art stay bold & breathtaking for up to 100 years. And the neo-pigment, water-based inks are 100% non-hazardous and toxin-free.
About the Artwork

Beard launches seven night-sisters into a soot-colored sky, each figure stiff with skyshock: bone white fabric, corpse-lit cheeks, sockets like burnt almonds. The bolt rips diagonally, a molten seam opening thunder’s mouth; bodies spill outward, mid-tumble, mid-shriek. Broomlike mount at right torpedoes forward, tail fibers fraying into cinder dust.

American nineteenth-century imagination meets witch-flight folklore, sabbath myth, occult panic, storm augury, heretic theater. Palette registers lampblack, gunmetal, slate, marl, chalk, sulfur flare. Brushwork sketches wind shear across gowns, hair, ankles.

Think nocturne studies, phantasm spectacle, puritan nightmare, catastrophe painting and luminist slash inverted toward terror. Most of all, Beard’s satire bends full-tilt toward horror: coven upheaval, airborne calamity, bone pageant, thunder law, lightning creed, folklore cinema across empty space.
Origin Story

William Holbrook Beard (1825–1900) is the American painter best remembered for wry, anthropomorphic animals staging human folly. Trained in Cincinnati and sharpened by European study, he settled in New York, where bears brawl on Wall Street, monkeys preen, cats scheme, and morality plays unfold in fur and claw. His nineteenth-century canvases blend satire, allegory, and luminous landscape craft, attracting salons and popular prints alike. Beard’s menagerie doubles as cultural critique: capitalism as carnivora, politics as pantomime, desire as a masquerade. Today he ranks among America’s animal painters, a sharp-eyed fabulist whose brush taught viewers to see themselves inside the beast.
