EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of the remarkable illustrations from John Milton's epic poem, "Paradise Lost". Created by Scottish artist William Strang in the late 19th century, this etching titled "Adam Rejects the Condolement of Eve" captures a pivotal moment in biblical history. The scene depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden after their expulsion, as they grapple with the consequences of their disobedience. Strang's intricate detailing brings to life Milton's poetic words, conveying Adam's profound sorrow and rejection of Eve's consolation. The composition exudes a sense of melancholy and introspection as Adam stands tall amidst lush foliage while turning away from his partner. This powerful image encapsulates themes such as regret, loss, and human frailty. The limited edition portfolio containing these illustrations was published in 1896 by John C Nimmo in London. It serves as a testament to both Milton's enduring literary masterpiece and Strang's artistic talent. As viewers gaze upon this rare print today, they are transported back to the 17th century when Milton first penned his magnum opus. Whether one appreciates religious symbolism or simply admires fine artistry, this print is sure to captivate hearts and minds alike. It invites contemplation on humanity’s fallibility while reminding us that even amidst despair, there is beauty to be found within great works of literature and art.
