EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic characters of Satan and Beelzebub from John Milton's renowned epic poem, Paradise Lost. Engraved by Charles Laplante in 1868, this masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of these fallen angels. The image depicts Satan and Beelzebub amidst a tumultuous backdrop, symbolizing their descent from heaven. Flames dance around them as they stand on a billowing cloud, representing their rebellion against God. Their wings are outstretched, showcasing both their angelic origins and their newfound demonic nature. Gustave Dore's masterful interpretation brings to life the complex emotions and intricate details of these infamous figures. The intensity in their eyes reflects the burning desire for power that led to their ultimate downfall. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness the embodiment of evil itself. The devilish charm exuded by Satan is juxtaposed with Beelzebub's menacing presence, creating an atmosphere filled with darkness and despair. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil. It invites us to delve into Milton's profound exploration of sin, redemption, and free will through his timeless literary work. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its evocative imagery and rich symbolism. It stands as a testament to both Milton's genius storytelling and Dore's exceptional artistic talent
