EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lucifer Carries Cain up into the Finite Space". Rudolf Jettmar masterfully captures a pivotal moment from Byron's Cain. The image, created between 1919-1920, transports us to an austere realm where mythology intertwines with religious symbolism. Jettmar's etching depicts Lucifer, the fallen angel and personification of evil, carrying Cain through the vast expanse of space. With his powerful wings outstretched, Lucifer soars effortlessly while clutching onto the naked figure of Cain. This haunting portrayal evokes a sense of both awe and trepidation as we witness these two enigmatic characters suspended in mid-air. The composition is rendered in striking black and white tones that enhance its dramatic impact. Jettmar's attention to detail is evident in every line etched on the surface, capturing the tension between light and shadow with precision. As viewers delve deeper into this artwork inspired by Lord Byron's poetic interpretation of Genesis, they are confronted with profound questions about morality and human nature. The juxtaposition of good versus evil becomes palpable as Lucifer carries Cain towards an uncertain destiny within our finite world. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites contemplation on themes such as religion, sinfulness, and redemption. It serves as a testament to Jettmar's artistic prowess in conveying complex narratives through his unique style.
