EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing representation of the devil Belphagor, as depicted in Collin de Plancy's Infernal Dictionary. Created by the talented engraver L. Breton in Paris back in 1863, this artwork is a true testament to the intricate craftsmanship of that era. Belphagor, also known as Belphegor, is an infernal entity deeply rooted in religious folklore and mythology. With his menacing gaze and imposing presence, he embodies the embodiment of evil itself. This engraving perfectly captures his malevolent essence, leaving viewers both fascinated and unsettled. The attention to detail evident in every stroke of this engraving highlights Louis Breton's exceptional skill as an artist. From the intricately etched lines to the carefully crafted shadows, each element contributes to creating a sense of foreboding atmosphere surrounding Belphagor. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes apparent that religion plays a significant role in shaping our perception of good versus evil. The devil has long been portrayed as a symbol of temptation and corruption throughout history—a constant reminder for humanity to resist its allure. Giancarlo Costa's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind this masterpiece but also its historical significance. It serves as a powerful reminder that even centuries later, these representations continue to captivate our imagination and provoke contemplation about morality and spirituality
