This classic image of Satan, Lucifer, the Devil or the Prince of Darkness deep in contemplation in a scene from Milton's "Paradise Lost." This will look greating hanging on the wall of your castle. Available as a poster, print or as a painting on canvas. Framed or unframed. Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, deep in dark contemplation. Historic image of Satan created in the 19th century for Milton's 1666 epic poem, "Paradise Lost" here is recreated for an alluring, artistic shirt. When John Milton published "Paradise Lost" in 1666 the epic poem broke new cultural ground by portraying the character of Satan as a heroic and rational opponent to a tyrannical Jehovah. In the 19th century, as rationalism swept western civilization, Paradise Lost, became a favourite of literature. The image presented here is detail from Dore's famous set of beautiful engravings included in 19th century editions of Paradise Lost. The beauty and majesty of the manner in which the tragic but dignified (and thus sympathetic) character of Satan is portrayed in the text is echoed and even amplified in the beauty of the illustator's art.
