A dramatic wood-engraving by Gustave Doré illustrating John Milton's Paradise Lost. In the foreground, a fallen angel (Satan) with large wings and armor lies partially submerged in a turbulent, fiery pool of liquid. In the background, another winged figure stands tall upon a dark rock, holding a long spear or staff, silhouetted against a bright, ethereal light breaking through heavy, dark clouds. The scene is characterized by high contrast and intricate line work depicting smoke, waves, and celestial light.
Forthwith upright he rears from off the pool
His mighty stature.
Book I., lines 221, 222
