EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oval portrait captures the profound intensity of John Milton (1608-1674), the renowned English poet, philosopher, and civil servant. Milton is best known for his epic poem "Paradise Lost," a literary masterpiece that explores the fall of man from God's grace. The image, skillfully rendered by artist Milton Coster, reveals Milton's deep contemplation and intellectual prowess. With his piercing gaze and furrowed brow, Milton seems to be lost in thought, as if pondering the complexities of human nature and the divine. Born in London in 1608, Milton was educated at Cambridge University before beginning his career as a civil servant. However, he is most celebrated for his literary achievements. Milton's works, which include "Paradise Regained," "Samson Agonistes," and "Areopagitica," are marked by their innovative use of blank verse and their exploration of themes such as free will, redemption, and the power of language. Despite losing his sight in his later years, Milton continued to write and publish, dictating his works to scribes. His final work, "Samson Agonistes," was published in 1671, just three years before his death in 1674. This portrait, created by Milton Coster, offers a glimpse into the inner world of this brilliant and influential figure. Milton's legacy continues to inspire and captivate readers, and his works remain a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and explore the depths of the human condition.
