EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Strang's exquisite etching titled "Eve Tempted by Satan in the Form of a Serpent from Paradise Lost". Inspired by John Milton's epic poem, this illustration is part of a series of 12 illustrations that Strang created during the late 19th century. In this particular artwork, we witness Eve standing in the lush Garden of Eden, her innocence and vulnerability palpable. Satan cunningly approaches her in the form of a serpent, his eyes filled with deceit and temptation. The intricate details captured by Strang bring to life the biblical story from Genesis where Eve succumbs to Satan's manipulation and takes a bite from the forbidden fruit. Strang was known for his exceptional talent as an illustrator, and he beautifully translates Milton's words into visual artistry. His use of delicate lines and shading creates depth and emotion within each scene. This rare print transports us back to London during the 1600s when Milton first penned his masterpiece. It serves as a reminder not only of our human susceptibility to temptation but also highlights Strang's skillful interpretation of one of literature's most iconic stories. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded once again that even paradise can be tainted by deception.
