The War in Heaven - A Haunting Depiction of Good and Evil
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The War in Heaven" captures the disordered chaos that unfolded during the battle between good and evil as described in Book VI of John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost. Engraved by A. Ligny around 1868, this masterpiece is a testament to Gustave Dore's artistic brilliance. In this haunting image, we are transported to a rocky landscape where the forces of heaven clash with the rebel angels. The scene exudes an eerie atmosphere as angelic figures soar through the air amidst billowing clouds and flashes of celestial light. The intricate details bring life to each character, their expressions reflecting both determination and despair. Raphael, one of God's archangels, takes center stage as he valiantly leads his fellow angels against the rebellious forces. His radiant presence illuminates the darkness surrounding him while inspiring hope among his comrades. However, it is impossible not to notice that defeat looms over some fallen angels who lie scattered across the battlefield. Their twisted forms serve as a reminder of their failed rebellion against divine authority. "The War in Heaven" serves as a powerful visual representation of Milton's exploration into themes such as free will, temptation, and redemption. It invites viewers to contemplate humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil while marveling at Dore's skillful interpretation. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images continues to
