EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment from John Milton's iconic work, Paradise Lost. In this French edition of the literary masterpiece, Satan is depicted leaping over the walls of Heaven with an awe-inspiring sense of power and determination. The image, beautifully engraved by Nyon and published in 1868, showcases Satan as a winged male figure, symbolizing his otherworldly nature. The lithograph by Flatters, Richard Edmond portrays Satan in all his devilish glory - flying through the air with grace and agility. His nudity adds to the raw intensity of the scene, highlighting his vulnerability and defiance against divine authority. This portrayal challenges conventional notions of good versus evil and invites viewers to question their preconceived notions about morality. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly exquisite; every line etched into the paper seems to breathe life into Satan's form. The artist masterfully captures both the physical prowess and emotional complexity of this enigmatic character. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection, this rare print offers art enthusiasts a glimpse into one of literature's most enduring tales. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder ensures that its beauty can be appreciated by individuals around the world who seek inspiration from timeless works like Paradise Lost.
