EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost". Illustrated by the talented French artist Gustave Dore, the image depicts Satan being conquered and vanquished by Gabriel, an angelic figure. The caption reads "Vanquished" emphasizing the triumph of good over evil. In this scene from Book IV, line 1015 of "Paradise Lost". Satan turns away from his fierce battle with Gabriel and flees into the shadows of night. Dore's intricate drawing beautifully portrays this dramatic encounter between these two iconic characters. Dore's artistic prowess shines through in every detail of this engraving. His skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, while his attention to facial expressions conveys both determination on Gabriel's face and defeat on Satan's. The print not only showcases Dore's talent but also pays homage to Milton's literary masterpiece. It serves as a visual representation of one of the most significant moments in Christian literature, reminding viewers of the eternal struggle between good and evil. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for redemption and victory over adversity.
