EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Lucifer Abandons Cain to his Fate" transports viewers back to the pages of Lord Byron's epic poem, Cain. Created by Austrian artist Rudolf Jettmar between 1919 and 1920, this black and white etching beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Christian mythology. In this haunting scene from the Book of Genesis, Lucifer, depicted as a winged figure with an air of malevolence, abandons Cain to his tragic destiny.
