Begyndelsesvignet til Frederik Paludan-Müller, "Lucifers fald" 1870 - 1881

This is a vignette by an anonymous artist, created between 1870 and 1881, for the Danish poet Frederik Paludan-Müller's epic poem "Lucifers fald" (Lucifer's Fall). The vignette depicts a stylized letter "F" within clouds, with a haloed "A" and "Ω" (Omega) below, suggesting a heavenly setting. This small-scale work, created for a printed publication, is an example of decorative art within the context of literary illustration. The vignette can be seen in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Denmark.
