Fallen Angel | Gustave Dore’s Magnificent Illustration

Fallen Angel is an illustration that I curated based on one of Gustave Dore’s engravings. The illustration is found in John Milton’s famous epic poem, Paradise Lost, written in 1667.

The story begins with Satan, one of the characters of the book, and of course, my favorite one. Satan awakes in hell, having lost his rebellion against God in heaven. He awakens his followers; begins to plot revenge against God by corrupting God’s newest creation, Man; and convenes a council of the fallen angels.

The illlustration is dramatic and majestic at the same time and you can find the high print resolution for apparel in the Fantasy section.
