EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Satan in Council, from Book I of Paradise Lost" transports viewers into the depths of John Milton's epic poem. Engraved by Stephane Pannemaker in 1868, it beautifully captures Gustave Dore's original illustration. The scene unfolds within a grand palace-like chamber, where fallen angels and rebel spirits gather for a momentous council. In the center stands Satan himself, his imposing figure exuding both power and malevolence. His wings spread wide as he addresses his demonic brethren with fiery determination. Surrounding him are columns adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes from the underworld, emphasizing the satanic nature of this gathering. The atmosphere is charged with tension as these dark entities debate their next move against heaven and its angelic inhabitants. A swirling cloud of fire hovers above them all, symbolizing the chaos and destruction they seek to unleash upon creation. Despite their evil intentions, there is an undeniable allure to these fallen beings - their winged forms emanating an otherworldly beauty that contrasts sharply with their sinister purpose. This print serves as a haunting reminder of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil. It invites us to ponder the complexities of moral choices while marveling at Milton's imaginative depiction of this infernal government known as Pandaemonium – a place where even angels can succumb to temptation and rebellion against divine authority.
