EDITORS COMMENTS
Jean Delville's haunting painting, "Sons of Satan," captures the essence of anger and fury as it unfolds in an exterior scene filled with raw emotion. Delville, a Belgian symbolist painter, writer, and occultist, created this powerful work between 1900 and 1953. The artist's use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the intensity of the scene, as if the very air is charged with the energy of the figures depicted. At the center of the painting, a man lies down, his body twisted in torment as he gazes up at the heavens. His face is contorted with rage, his eyes burning with an inner fire. Around him, a group of men and women, the "Sons of Satan," gather, their bodies writhing in the orange glow of the setting sun. Their nakedness adds to the sense of primal, untamed energy, as they struggle against unseen forces that trap them in their rage. The women in the painting are equally fierce, their faces etched with the same intensity as the men. One woman lies on the ground, her body twisted in a contorted position, her eyes fixed on the man at the center. Another stands defiantly, her arms raised high, as if daring the heavens to challenge her. The location of the painting is ambiguous, but the sense of otherworldliness is palpable. The use of the word "Sons of Satan" in the title adds to the painting's mystique, suggesting a connection to the occult or the supernatural. Delville's masterful use of color and composition creates a powerful and evocative image that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
