The artwork, titled “To whom the winged Hierarch replied O Adam, one Almighty is, from whom All things proceed,” is a creation by Gustave Doré. This illustration is part of the Romanticism movement and belongs to the genre of illustration. It is one among a series of works designed for John Milton’s epic poem “Paradise Lost.”
The artwork portrays an ethereal scene wherein a celestial being, identifiable as an angel due to its wings, addresses Adam and Eve. The setting is a lush, verdant landscape, with Adam and Eve seated on a rock beside flourishing vegetation. The angel, characterized by flowing robes and expressive gestures, seemingly delivers a profound message. The detailed and delicate lines emphasize the otherworldly nature of the composition, capturing the sublime atmosphere central to the Romanticism movement.
