"The Angel of the drink of Darkness, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" is a beautiful and evocative illustration by Edmund Dulac, a renowned British artist known for his work in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. The illustration depicts a scene from Omar Khayyam's famous collection of quatrains, "The Rubaiyat." The angel, draped in a flowing, dark robe, offers a chalice of wine to a reclining man and woman. The scene is set against a backdrop of a lush garden, a distant palace, and a warm, golden light. Dulac's masterful use of color and detail brings the world of Khayyam's poetry to life, capturing its sense of beauty, mystery, and sensuality.
