“The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus” (1588) – Hendrick Goltzius, after Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem. This image is palpable. It downright hurts to look at it.

S. T. Coleridge’s daughter Sara on Milton:

“In Dante’s hands the demigod sinks into the beastman, while in those of Milton devils appear as deities, fit indeed to obtain adoration from the dazzled mind,—not frightful fiends but wicked angels…”

Reflecting on his art studies in Rome (1770–78), Fuseli said that the Italians “were lively and entertaining, but there was the slight drawback of never feeling one's life safe in their presence.”

Bosselman's dramatically pensive print of the immortal Milton (ca. 1840-50).

@Nixarim Perhaps Pietro Calvi's copy of Corti's Lucifero will be helpful.

“Sin pursued by Death.”

1804 engraving by Moses Haughton, Jr., after a 1794–96 Milton Gallery painting by Henry Fuseli.
