EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Satan in Paradise, as described in Book IV of John Milton's iconic poem, Paradise Lost. Engraved by Charles Laplante in 1868 and based on Gustave Dore's original artwork, this image transports us to a world where evil takes on a mesmerizing disguise. In the center of the composition stands Satan himself, portrayed as a cormorant bird. With his wings spread wide and eyes fixed upon the lush tropical landscape before him, he surveys his newfound paradise with both curiosity and malice. The luxuriant foliage serves as a stark contrast to his dark presence, emphasizing the duality between beauty and corruption. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel the fertile energy emanating from every leaf and flower. Yet beneath its romantic facade lies something furtive - an underlying sense of danger that only intensifies our fascination with Satan's character. Belzebuth or Beelzebub is often associated with Satan; however, it is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use nor refers to any specific company. Instead, it invites us into Milton's imaginative realm where good battles evil amidst stunning landscapes. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this engraving from Fine Art Finder reminds us of humanity's eternal struggle against temptation while showcasing the undeniable power of artistic expression.
