EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, based on Gustave Doré's illustration of John Milton's "Paradise Lost" transports us to a pivotal moment in the epic poem. The scene depicts the rebel angels' dramatic descent from Heaven into Hell, as described in Book VI, lines 874-5. The image captures the chaos and despair that accompanies their fall through the breach in the celestial wall. With wings outstretched and faces twisted with anguish, these fallen angels plummet towards their new abode of eternal damnation. Their once glorious forms now distorted by rebellion against God's divine order. Gustave Doré's masterful engraving brings to life Milton's vivid imagination and poetic genius. Every detail is meticulously rendered, from the billowing clouds surrounding Heaven to the fiery abyss awaiting them below. Through his skillful use of light and shadow, Doré creates a sense of foreboding and impending doom. In this powerful visual interpretation, we witness not only Milton's exploration of theological themes but also his revolutionary spirit as an English poet during a time when religious tensions ran high. The print serves as a reminder of humanity’s capacity for both good and evil while inviting contemplation on our own choices between obedience or rebellion. As viewers gaze upon this timeless artwork, they are transported back to an era where poetry was revered as a medium for exploring profound questions about faith, morality, and human nature. It stands as a testament to both Milton’s enduring legacy and Doré’s artistic brilliance in capturing
