In folklore traced back to medieval legend, a succubus (plural succubi) is a female demon who takes the form of a woman in order to seduce men in their dreams, usually through sexual intercourse.In modern times, a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress, while in the past succubi were generally depicted as frightening and demonic.[2] The male counterpart is the incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health, or even death.
Haha… Damn. I know what a succubus is. I even know what this picture is about. My girl friend is a lot like this. But what the f@ck is the child doing in the mirror!!?? What was the point the painter trying to point out? Besides being more than sick!
like Deni said they show more so in dreams but that dream could have been a memory with the father and child. thus the child. another thought would be that the child is just another demon(black spot for face). or Aaron is correct and the artist is sick.
Beautiful Stuff
