EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Embryos, idiots and eremites 1885" we are transported into the intricate world of Gustave Dore's engraving. Inspired by John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" and accompanied by Robert Vaughan's commentary, this artwork delves deep into the realms of theology, philosophy, and human nature. Dore masterfully depicts a scene from Milton's work that explores the eternal conflict between good and evil. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to a group of figures falling through darkness towards an infernal abyss. Each character represents a different aspect of humanity: embryos symbolizing innocence yet to be born; idiots embodying ignorance and vulnerability; eremites representing those who have chosen solitude in search of spiritual enlightenment. The composition is rich with symbolism as it touches on themes such as religion, sin, temptation, and redemption. The meticulous details in Dore's engravings bring life to each figure while capturing their anguish and despair. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our own internal struggles against moral dilemmas and the consequences they may bear. It invites us to reflect upon our choices in light of Milton's exploration of free will versus divine providence. "The Embryos, idiots and eremites 1885" is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a thought-provoking window into humanity’s perpetual battle with its own demons – both literal and metaphorical.
