"Tam O'Shanter and the Witches" is an oil painting by Scottish artist John Faed, completed in 1855. The artwork is inspired by the narrative poem "Tam o' Shanter" written by Robert Burns in 1790. Faed's painting vividly captures the climactic scene where the protagonist, Tam, witnesses a coven of witches and warlocks dancing wildly in the ruined Alloway Kirk, as described in Burns's poem.

John Faed (1819–1902) was a renowned Victorian-era painter known for his historical and literary scenes. In "Tam O'Shanter and the Witches," Faed exhibits his skill in storytelling through visual art, bringing to life the poem's blend of humor, horror, and social commentary. The painting is a testament to Faed's mastery of detail and his ability to convey the supernatural elements of the poem, as well as the rustic character of its hero.

The composition of the painting is centered around the raucous gathering of the supernatural beings, with Tam O'Shanter himself depicted on horseback, peering in horror and fascination from a distance. The witches are shown in various states of abandon, with the infamous character of Cutty Sark, in her short shift, taking a prominent position in the scene. The eerie atmosphere is enhanced by the dark, moody colors and the dynamic movement captured by Faed's brushwork.

"Tam O'Shanter and the Witches" is not only a significant work in the oeuvre of John Faed but also an important cultural artifact that reflects the enduring influence of Robert Burns's poetry on Scottish art and identity. The painting is held in high regard for its interpretation of one of Scotland's most famous literary works and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance.
