1667 Angels Conclave Devils Horns Lost Milton Paradise Rebel Summoned Winged
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Rebel Angels Summoned," depicts a pivotal moment from John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," first published in 1667. In the poem, Milton retells the biblical story of the Fall of Man, but with an innovative exploration of the motivations and emotions of the rebel angels, led by Satan. In this print, the rebel angels, with their winged forms and horns adorning their heads, are gathered around a large, open book. The book, held aloft by an angelic figure, appears to be the very text of Milton's poem, its pages filled with the intricate details of their rebellion against God. The intense focus and determination in the angels' expressions suggest the depth of their convictions and the gravity of their decision to defy the divine order. The setting for this gathering is a conclave, a secretive and solemn assembly, which further emphasizes the importance of the moment. The use of dramatic lighting and the intricate details of the angels' forms and the book itself add to the overall sense of intrigue and otherworldliness. First published in 1667, "Paradise Lost" was a groundbreaking work that challenged traditional interpretations of the Fall and offered a new perspective on the nature of good and evil. This image, with its striking depiction of the rebellious angels, perfectly encapsulates the complex and thought-provoking themes of Milton's masterpiece.
