EDITORS COMMENTS
The Genealogy of the Anti-Christ Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) is a captivating print that delves into the intriguing history of one of England's most controversial figures. This 17th-century engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a visual representation of the religious and political tensions during the English Civil War. The image showcases a tree-like structure with various demonic creatures intertwined within its branches. Each demon represents different vices, sins, and satanic allusions associated with Cromwell's rule as Lord Protector of England. The roundhead and cavalier propaganda is evident through the contrasting portrayal of winged angels on one side and horned devils on the other. This genealogical masterpiece highlights Cromwell's connection to fictional characters such as Satan and Satyrs, emphasizing his monstrous character according to popular belief at that time. The inclusion of pitchforks symbolizes his negative impact on religion during the interregnum period. Displayed in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to reflect upon Cromwell's complex legacy while exploring themes like power struggles, religious conflicts, and political propaganda prevalent during his era. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this historical gem from Fine Art Finder for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical significance.
