Paradise Lost (Illustrated by Gustave Doré)

A dramatic, full-page engraving by Gustave Doré depicting the fall of the rebel angels. In the upper center, a radiant, divine figure with outstretched wings casts down bolts of light. Below, a chaotic mass of winged figures in classical armor and robes are shown tumbling headlong through dark, swirling clouds toward a fiery abyss. One central figure falls backward with a spear in hand, surrounded by other falling angels, shields, and weapons, conveying a sense of violent descent and divine judgment.
