Paradise Lost (Illustrated by Gustave Doré) (1880) - Page 25

A dramatic wood-engraving by Gustave Doré illustrating John Milton's "Paradise Lost." In the center, a tall, winged figure (Satan) stands atop a rocky mound with his back to the viewer, one arm raised and the other holding a long spear that reaches toward a dark, turbulent sky. Below him, a vast multitude of fallen angels are depicted in various states of distress; some lie prostrate on the ground, while others are beginning to rise or look upward. In the distance, a horizon line suggests a shore or a sea of fire, with countless spears of the infernal host bristling against the light. The engraving is signed "G. Doré" in the lower left and "HOTELIN" in the lower right.

They heard, and were abashed, and up they sprung.
