This print titled "Paradise Lost: Satan in Council" showcases an engraving by the renowned artist Gustave Dore. The image depicts a scene from John Milton's epic poem, where Satan gathers his rebel angels in his magnificent palace located in Pandaemonium, the capital of hell. Dore's intricate and detailed artwork brings to life the grandeur of Satan's palace, which rises like a colossal structure from the earth. The building resembles a temple with its round pilasters and Doric pillars adorned with golden architraves. This visual representation perfectly captures Milton's vivid description from Book 1 of Paradise Lost. The tinted tones used in this engraving add depth and intensity to the overall composition, enhancing its dramatic impact.
