Paradise Lost 

Gustave Doré's "Paradise Lost" is a powerful black and white illustration depicting a scene from John Milton's epic poem of the same name. The image shows four angels in a mountainous landscape, their wings spread out, as they contemplate a vision of a vast, watery expanse. The dramatic composition and detailed rendering of the figures and their surroundings are characteristic of Doré's style, which often emphasized the dramatic and the sublime. Doré's illustrations for "Paradise Lost" were highly successful, capturing the imagination of a wide audience and contributing to the enduring popularity of Milton's poem.
