EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lucifer and his angels hasten! Hasten! O ye spirits, from its station drag the ponderous cross of iron" we are transported into a realm where darkness and light collide. The image, captured by Sidney Meteyard in 1868-1947, showcases an intense moment from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Golden Legend". As our eyes delve into the composition, we witness Lucifer himself leading a legion of fallen angels as they strive to move a colossal cross made of iron. The weighty burden symbolizes the struggle between good and evil, with each spirit exerting their otherworldly strength to fulfill their malevolent mission. Meteyard's artistic prowess shines through in this mesmerizing piece. His attention to detail brings out every intricate feature on Lucifer's face - his piercing gaze filled with determination and rebellion against divine authority. The surrounding angels mirror his intensity as they unite under his command. This print serves as a visual representation of Longfellow's powerful words that explore themes of temptation, sin, and redemption. It invites us to contemplate the eternal battle between righteousness and wickedness that exists within humanity. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers with its haunting beauty and thought-provoking narrative. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of the timeless allure held by tales that delve into the depths of human nature while exploring our capacity for both darkness and light.
