"Fallen Angel: A Tale of Redemption and Rebellion" In the depths of artistic masterpieces, we find the captivating story of the fallen angel. From Rubens' "The Fall of the Damned" to Gustave Doré's engravings for John Milton's "Paradise Lost, " these works unveil a narrative that has fascinated generations. In Pieter Paul Rubens' painting, we witness a chaotic scene as rebellious angels plummet into fiery abysses. Their once glorious wings now tattered and their faces etched with despair they can condemned for eternity. The 15th-century manuscript illuminations from Jean, Duke of Berry's Tres Riches Heures depict this fall with intricate detail and vivid colors. Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" delves deeper into this tale. Satan, wounded in combat with Archangel Michael, falls defeated to the ground. Yet even in his defeat, he bids his fallen comrades to rise again together – a testament to his unyielding spirit. Gustave Doré brings Milton's words to life through wood engravings that capture pivotal moments in Satan's journey. We see him standing on the Tree of Life within Paradise itself or calling up his legions for battle against heaven above. But amidst all this darkness lies glimpses of hope and beauty. Luca Giordano portrays Archangel Michael triumphantly defeating rebel angels – a symbol of justice prevailing over rebellion. And then there is Satan himself - forever entwined with Beelzebub - an embodiment of cunning and deceit lurking within humanity’s darkest corners. Yet it is not solely about damnation; redemption also finds its place within these artworks. The left wing panel from St Peter’s High Altar in Hamburg depicts tormented souls enduring hellish torment but suggests that salvation may still be possible through repentance.
