EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Creation of Fish and Birds" from John Milton's renowned epic poem, Paradise Lost. Engraved by Collon Smeeton in approximately 1868, this masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of Milton's poetic vision. In this scene, Gustave Dore masterfully brings to life the biblical account of creation found in the book of Genesis. The image depicts a divine moment when God commands the waters to teem with an abundance of fish and reptiles while simultaneously allowing birds to soar above the earth. Rays of sunlight pierce through dark clouds, illuminating both sea and sky as symbols of God's creative power. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of its religious significance but also its timeless beauty. The intricate details portray a sense of awe and wonder at nature's diversity – from majestic birds gliding gracefully through the air to mythical sea creatures lurking beneath ocean depths. "The Creation of Fish and Birds" invites us into a world where spirituality intertwines with artistry. It serves as a powerful reminder that faith can be expressed through various mediums, transcending time and cultural boundaries. Displayed within a private collection, this engraving continues to inspire contemplation on themes such as Christian beliefs, ancient mythology, and humanity's place within the natural world. Its presence is a testament to both Milton's literary genius and Dore's artistic prowess – forever capturing our imagination with their collaborative masterpiece.
