Gustave Doré; Black and White Engraving; The Fallen Angels on the Wing from John Milton's Paradise Lost

---

This image by Gustave Doré from John Milton's paradise lost depicts Satan addressing his fallen angels. He exhorts them to take courage, abandon their abject posture of submission and once more rally round their chief lest the angelic legions of the Conquerors descend from Heaven and tread them down or transfix them to the bottom of the abyss with linked thunderbolts.
