1667 Clouds Dore Fight Good Leads Lost Milton Paradise Satan Shield Wings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving, titled "Abdiel Leads the Good Angels into the Fight with Satan," is a captivating depiction of a pivotal moment in John Milton's epic poem, "Paradise Lost." Published in 1667, this historical print is based on the illustrations created by the renowned English artist and engraver, Gustave Doré. In the image, the noble angel Abdiel, with wings outstretched and a determined expression on his face, leads an army of good angels into battle against the rebellious Satan. Abdiel, who is described in Milton's poem as "the brightest Seraph in the presence of the Almighty," stands firm against the temptations of Satan and refuses to join the rebellion. Abdiel's courage and unwavering loyalty to God are symbolized by the shield he carries, emblazoned with the cross, and the sword in his hand, ready to defend the heavens. The angels following him are depicted with wings spread wide, creating a breathtaking scene of celestial power and grace. The clouds of heaven provide a dramatic backdrop to the scene, with rays of light streaming down from the divine presence above. The intricate details of Doré's engraving bring Milton's poetic vision to life, making this print a must-have for any serious student or collector of literature, history, or art. This print is a testament to the enduring power of Milton's words and Doré's artistry, and serves as a reminder of the timeless themes of good versus evil, loyalty, and the power of the human spirit. Whether displayed in a library, study, or home, this print is sure to inspire and delight for generations to come.
