EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of Adam's lamentation over his sinfulness, as depicted in John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost". Created by French engravers Goulu and Rensonnette, this print showcases their exceptional talent for translating emotions onto paper. Published in 1868 by Flatters, Richard Edmond, it remains a timeless representation of biblical mourning. The image portrays Adam standing alone amidst the lushness of the Garden of Eden. His posture reflects deep grief and remorse as he contemplates the consequences of his actions. The loss of innocence is palpable through his sorrowful expression and body language. Nudity plays a significant role in this artwork, symbolizing vulnerability and exposing Adam's true state after partaking in forbidden knowledge. It serves as a reminder that even our most intimate selves are laid bare before God. Solitude envelops him entirely, emphasizing his isolation from Eve and highlighting the weight he carries on his own shoulders. This solitude amplifies both his personal anguish and humanity's collective fall from grace. Religious undertones permeate every aspect of this composition; it invites viewers to reflect upon themes found within Genesis—the creation story—while contemplating their own spiritual journeys. Through its meticulous engravings, this print becomes an invitation to introspection—a visual sermon reminding us all that redemption can be sought even amidst profound regret. Incorporating elements such as grief, loss of innocence, and religious symbolism, this engraving masterfully encapsulates Milton's
