EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, inspired by Gustave Doré's illustrations for John Milton's "Paradise Lost" transports us to a pivotal moment in the epic poem. The print depicts Satan and his rebellious angels being cast out of Heaven, as described in Book I, lines 44-45. The scene is filled with dramatic tension and celestial beauty. Satan, once an archangel of great power and beauty himself, now stands defiantly amidst his fallen comrades. Their expressions reveal a mix of anger, despair, and determination as they are expelled from the heavenly realm. Above them looms a majestic winged figure - an archangel sent by God to enforce their banishment. His presence emanates authority and righteousness against the backdrop of billowing clouds that symbolize both divine wrath and mercy. Gustave Doré's masterful engraving technique brings this literary masterpiece to life on paper. Each stroke captures the intensity of emotion conveyed through Milton's words while adding depth to the visual narrative. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature and art working harmoniously together. It invites viewers into Milton's world where rebellion clashes with divine order, leaving us pondering questions about free will, morality, and redemption. "The Granger Collection" has beautifully preserved this artistic gem from history for all admirers of literature and fine art alike to appreciate its timeless significance.
