"The Groom Bewitched" (1544) is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien, who was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance and a close contemporary of Albrecht Dürer. This painting is an intriguing example of Baldung's fascination with the supernatural and the macabre, themes that frequently appeared in his oeuvre. The artwork depicts a chaotic and unsettling scene in which a groom appears to be bewitched or possessed, as he is tormented by a group of demonic figures and a witch, illustrating the period's superstitions and fears of witchcraft.

The painting is executed in oil on limewood panel, a common medium for Northern Renaissance artists, and measures 81 cm × 64 cm. It is currently housed in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, having entered the French royal collection in the 17th century. "The Groom Bewitched" is particularly significant for its exploration of human psychology, its vivid portrayal of supernatural elements, and its reflection of the societal anxieties of the time regarding witchcraft and the occult.

Hans Baldung Grien's work is characterized by a distinctive style that often included dramatic lighting, vivid colors, and expressive figures. In "The Groom Bewitched," Baldung's use of chiaroscuro and contorted body forms enhances the eerie atmosphere and the sense of movement within the scene. The painting serves as a valuable cultural artifact, providing insight into the beliefs and artistic conventions of the 16th century.

As an artist, Baldung was known for his versatility, producing not only paintings but also prints and drawings. His works often diverged from the more common religious subjects of the period to explore secular and mythological themes, as well as human morality and the natural world. "The Groom Bewitched" stands as a testament to Baldung's artistic innovation and his willingness to engage with the darker aspects of human nature and folklore.
