EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Sin and Death at the Gates of Hell from Paradise Lost" by John Milton, a renowned English poet. The artwork was beautifully etched by William Strang, a Scottish artist known for his illustrations in various books during the late 19th century. The image depicts a scene from Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" where Sin and Death stand guard at the gates of hell. Sin is portrayed as a cloaked figure with a skeletal face, crowned with serpents' tails. Death appears as a menacing figure holding a spear, ready to strike. The illustration captures the dark and mythical elements present in Milton's work, combining religious symbolism with poetic imagination. It transports viewers into an eerie realm where sin and death reign supreme. This rare lithograph print offers us a glimpse into the intricate world created by Milton's words and Strang's artistic interpretation. The limited edition portfolio adds to its allure, making it an exquisite collector's item for enthusiasts of literature, mythology, or religious art. Whether one is familiar with "Paradise Lost" or not, this striking image invites contemplation on themes such as temptation, mortality, and human nature. It serves as both an homage to Milton's literary masterpiece and an exploration of timeless concepts that continue to resonate today.
