Christian Fights Apollyon, c1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that brings to life the epic battle between good and evil. Created by renowned artist William Strang, this illustration is based on John Bunyan's iconic allegorical novel, The Pilgrim's Progress. Bunyan, an English nonconformist preacher and writer, penned this timeless tale during his imprisonment in Bedford for preaching without a license. His work became immensely popular for its profound exploration of faith and spiritual journey. In this powerful image, Christian stands tall as he confronts Apollyon, symbolizing the struggle against temptation and sin. Armed with a sword and shield representing truth and righteousness respectively, Christian embodies unwavering courage in the face of adversity. The sepia-toned monochrome adds depth to the scene while evoking a sense of nostalgia for early 20th-century literature enthusiasts. Strang's masterful use of detail captures every nuance of the intense conflict between these two fictional characters. As Apollyon reaches out menacingly towards Christian, we are reminded of the eternal battle between good and evil that transcends time itself. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual representation of humanity's ongoing fight for virtue. With its rich historical context coupled with exceptional artistry, "Christian Fights Apollyon" remains an enduring testament to Bunyan's literary genius brought to life through Strang's remarkable talent.
