EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in John Milton's epic poem, "Paradise Lost". The renowned French artist Gustave Dore brings to life the scene where Satan, disguised as a serpent, approaches Eve in the Garden of Eden. Bathed in a soft glow of light, the glade serves as an ethereal backdrop for this fateful encounter. Dore's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his depiction of Satan with his head held high and eyes gleaming like precious carbuncles. The serpent's neck shimmers with verdant gold, adding an aura of regality to his deceptive presence. In this illustration from Cassells Dores Gallery by Edmund Ollier, we also catch a glimpse of Adam standing nearby. The image not only showcases Dore's artistic prowess but also highlights the profound themes explored within Milton's work. It symbolizes the temptation that led to humanity's expulsion from paradise and explores concepts such as good versus evil and mankind's fallibility. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power of literature and art to transport us into other worlds. Dore masterfully captures both the beauty and treachery present in "Paradise Lost" leaving viewers captivated by its timeless allure.
