EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Satan plunges into the River Styx, from a French edition of Paradise Lost" is a mesmerizing depiction of one of literature's most iconic characters. Engraved by Darodes and published in 1868, this lithograph beautifully captures Satan's descent into the depths of the underworld. The image showcases Satan as he gracefully descends from the cliffs with his wings spread wide, exuding an air of power and determination. His male form is depicted in all its nakedness, symbolizing vulnerability and defiance against divine authority. As he plunges into the River Styx, we witness his journey to Hades - a realm reserved for fallen souls. The artist skillfully portrays Satan's inner turmoil through intricate details and masterful shading techniques. The composition evokes a sense of awe and intrigue as we contemplate his eternal damnation and rebellion against God. This print not only pays homage to John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" but it also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with themes of good versus evil, temptation, and redemption. It invites us to reflect on our own moral choices while admiring the artistic brilliance behind this timeless masterpiece. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable engraving continues to captivate viewers with its profound symbolism and thought-provoking narrative.
