A dramatic wood engraving depicting a multitude of fallen angels (demons) in flight. In the foreground, several muscular, winged figures soar through a dark, turbulent sky; one holds a spear, another a shield. Below them, a vast, dark landscape is visible, featuring jagged rock formations and a distant, glowing horizon or body of water. The sky is filled with the shadowy forms of countless other winged beings, creating a sense of an immense, swarming host. The style is characteristic of Gustave Doré, with high contrast and intricate line work. The artist's signature "G. Doré" is visible in the lower right of the image area.
So numberless were those bad Angels seen,
Hovering on wing, under the cope of Hell.
Book I., lines 344, 345.
