EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, inspired by Gustave Dore's interpretation of John Milton's "Paradise Lost" depicts a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The scene captures the essence of Book IX, lines 784-85, where temptation begins to unravel the idyllic paradise they once called home. In this evocative image, we witness Adam and Eve standing side by side in the lush Garden of Eden. Both figures are depicted in their natural state – nude and vulnerable – symbolizing their innocence before succumbing to evil's allure. As they stand beneath a towering tree with its branches laden with forbidden fruit, a serpent slithers sinuously towards them. The artist skillfully portrays the contrasting emotions etched on their faces; Adam appears hesitant yet resolute while Eve seems captivated by both curiosity and desire. This visual representation beautifully encapsulates the internal struggle faced by humanity when confronted with temptation. Through this wood engraving, viewers are transported into Milton's literary masterpiece that explores themes of free will, morality, and mankind's fall from grace. It serves as a reminder that even within paradise itself, darkness can lurk just around the corner. "The Granger Collection" has masterfully captured this iconic moment from "Paradise Lost" inviting us to reflect upon our own vulnerabilities and choices while marveling at Gustave Dore's artistic prowess.
