Satan Arousing The Fallen Angels | John Milton | 1824

This image is a mezzotint engraving by John Martin titled Satan Arousing the Fallen Angels, inspired by Paradise Lost by John Milton. The scene depicted is from Book 1, line 314 of the epic poem, where Satan, cast out of Heaven, rallies the fallen angels. In the image, Satan stands on a rocky precipice, his wings spread, holding a spear as he gestures to the horde of fallen angels below. The dark and dramatic landscape surrounding Satan, with swirling flames and turbulent waves, highlights the chaos and grandeur of Hell. Martin’s use of light and shadow, typical of his work, creates a stark contrast that enhances the epic and infernal nature of the scene. The composition emphasizes Satan’s commanding presence, casting him as a tragic and powerful figure in the desolate abyss.
