Description
Prince of the underworld taming a river of lava, a bestial, hairy Satan, a sculptural Lucifer with hallucinating eyes, a hybrid beast torturing sinful souls, a fallen, melancholic rebel. The devil is much more than a red and black creature with horns and a long tail. This beautifully illustrated book offers a unique collection of works of art in which the devil takes center stage. Let yourself be seduced by the surprising selection and discover the mythical stories surrounding the devil. • a masterful combination of iconic works of art and literature • clear visual references such as cross-references, timelines, and maps • supplementary information with anecdotes, context, and influences. Alix Paré, a graduate of the École du Louvre, teaches Western painting of the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries. She worked for eight years at the Musée du Louvre and the Château de Versailles. She teaches art history and collaborates on major exhibitions in Paris.
