EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Diverse Manifestations of the Devil" takes us back to the 17th century, a time when beliefs in evil and satanic forces were deeply ingrained in society. The image is a copy of an illustration from Joseph Glanvil's renowned work, Sadducismus Triumphatus Part II, published in London in 1681. The engraving showcases various guises of Satan himself, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of evil. Each depiction portrays a different aspect or manifestation of the devil, emphasizing his ability to adapt and deceive. From menacing horns to sinister grins, these illustrations evoke both fascination and fear. Published much later in the late 19th century as part of A History of Magic, this artwork has found its way into private collections over time. It serves as a reminder that our fascination with dark forces has persisted throughout history. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from English School artists who lived during that era, we are transported back to a time when belief systems were intertwined with superstition and folklore. This print not only captures the essence of seventeenth-century satanism but also offers us insight into how perceptions about evil have evolved over centuries. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate this historical artifact for its artistic value while contemplating humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil.
