EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Paradise Lost: Creation of the fish and birds" by Gustave Dore takes us on a visual journey through John Milton's epic poem. The image depicts the moment when God, as described in Book VII, commands the waters to generate an abundance of reptiles and gives wings to the fowl to fly above the earth. Dore's intricate drawing showcases his exceptional talent as a French artist from the 19th century. His attention to detail brings this biblical scene to life, capturing both the majesty and delicacy of these newly created creatures. The engraving by Cosson Smeeton further enhances Dore's work, adding depth and texture. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of Milton's powerful words that describe God's divine creation.
