EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MILTON: PARADISE LOST" transports us into the depths of John Milton's epic poem. The image, a wood engraving after Gustave Dore, beautifully captures a poignant moment from Book XII, line 645. As we gaze upon it, we witness Adam and Eve standing side by side in the lush Garden of Eden. Adam's strong and noble figure is complemented by his outstretched wings, symbolizing his angelic nature. His expression reveals a mix of sorrow and determination as he confronts the challenges that lie ahead. Eve stands beside him with grace and vulnerability, her nude form representing both innocence and sensuality. In this particular scene, natural tears can be seen streaming down their faces. However, they quickly wipe them away - an act that speaks volumes about their resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The wood engraving technique adds depth to the image while maintaining intricate details such as every strand of hair or feather on Adam's wings. It brings to life Milton's words through its masterful craftsmanship. "MILTON: PARADISE LOST" serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's capacity for endurance amidst trials and tribulations. It invites us to reflect on our own ability to overcome obstacles with unwavering determination while cherishing our inherent beauty even in moments of vulnerability.
