EDITORS COMMENTS
Milton's 'Rebel Angels' Depicted in Dore's Epic Illustrations from 'Paradise Lost' (Published: 1667) This print, titled 'The Rebel Angels Defeated,' is an exquisite illustration drawn by Gustave Doré for John Milton's seminal epic poem, 'Paradise Lost.' First published in 1667, Milton's masterpiece retells the biblical story of the Fall of Man, focusing on the epic battle between God and Satan, the latter leading a rebellion of angels against the divine order. In this image, Doré brilliantly captures the chaotic scene of the defeated rebel angels. Their once proud forms, now twisted and distorted, lie sprawled on the ground, their wings shattered and torn. Some cling to their shields, symbols of their former power and defiance, now rendered useless. The defeated angels' faces are etched with anguish and despair, their once resolute expressions now replaced with remorse and regret. The print's intricate details and rich symbolism bring Milton's poetic descriptions to life, immersing viewers in the epic tale of good versus evil. Doré's illustrations, which accompanied the first edition of 'Paradise Lost,' have become an integral part of the poem's enduring legacy. This image, in particular, encapsulates the poignant moment of the rebellion's demise, offering a visual representation of Milton's profound exploration of the human condition and the consequences of disobedience. As Milton's words and Doré's illustrations intertwine, they invite readers to delve deeper into the complex narrative of 'Paradise Lost,' offering a timeless exploration of faith, free will, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
