Satan Thinking Acrylic Print

When John Milton published "Paradise Lost" in 1666 the epic poem broke new cultural ground by portraying the character of Satan as a heroic and rational opponent to a tyrannical Jehovah. In the 19th century, as rationalism swept western civilization, Paradise Lost, became a favorite of literature. The image presented here is detail from Dore's famous set of beautiful engravings included in 19th century editions of Paradise Lost. The beauty and majesty of the manner in which the tragic but dignified (and thus sympathetic) character of Satan is portrayed in the text is echoed and even amplified in the beauty of the illustator's art. Rabid Crow meticulously enlarged, restored, clarified, and repaired this century-old illustration to elevate it to the level of fine art. This version of it is mounted on a shiny plastic-like acrylic creating a piece of wall art with a modern elegant aesthetic. Available in multiple sizes ranging from 10"x14" up to 24"x36".
