EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Satan Smitten by Michael" transports viewers into the epic world of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Engraved by Antoine Alphee Piaud in 1868, it beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Book VI of the renowned poem. In this scene, we witness the ultimate clash between good and evil as Satan, the fallen angel and embodiment of rebellion, faces his nemesis Michael. With wings spread wide against a dramatic rocky landscape backdrop, Satan brandishes his sword and shield in defiance. The intensity is palpable as he prepares to engage in battle with an army of God. Gustave Dore's masterful interpretation brings out every intricate detail - from Satan's sinister expression to the intricate design on his armor. The engraving perfectly encapsulates Milton's vivid descriptions and allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this celestial contest. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the eternal struggle between light and darkness that lies within each one of us. It serves as a powerful reminder that even those who have fallen can still possess immense strength and determination. "Satan Smitten by Michael" is not just a visual masterpiece; it also invites contemplation about our own inner battles with temptation and moral choices. This timeless artwork continues to captivate audiences today, reminding us that art has the power to transport us beyond time and space into realms where imagination reigns supreme.
