EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from John Milton's epic poem, "Paradise Lost". The wood engraving after Gustave Dore brings to life the intense emotions described in Book IX, lines 1121-1123. As we gaze upon the image, we witness Adam and Eve standing together, their eyes filled with tears as they confront the consequences of their actions. But there is more than just sorrow in their eyes; within them stirs a tempestuous storm. High winds begin to rise from deep within their souls, symbolizing the turmoil and conflict that now engulfs them. This visual representation beautifully encapsulates Milton's profound exploration of human nature and its capacity for both despair and resilience. The nudity of Adam and Eve serves as a reminder of their vulnerability and innocence before succumbing to temptation. Their exposed bodies stand as an emblematic portrayal of humanity's fall from grace. Gustave Dore's masterful engraving skillfully captures every intricate detail - from the delicate curves of Eve's breast to the strength etched into Adam's face. Through this artwork, we are transported back to biblical times, immersed in Milton's poetic vision. As part of The Granger Collection’s art on demand series, this print offers us a glimpse into one of literature’s most iconic works. It invites us to reflect on our own inner struggles while marveling at the timeless beauty found within Milton’s words and Dore’s artistic interpretation.
