"Satan Plunges into the River Styx" is a notable painting by the French artist Richard Edmond Flatters, created in the 19th century. The artwork is a dramatic representation of a scene from John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," wherein Satan, the fallen angel, is depicted as descending into the infernal waters of the River Styx, a river from Greek mythology that was later incorporated into Christian iconography of Hell. Flatters, known for his academic style, captures the moment with intense emotion and dynamic movement, reflecting the Romantic fascination with the sublime and the macabre.

The painting is characterized by its dark palette and the use of chiaroscuro to emphasize the despair and the tumultuous nature of Satan's fall. Flatters' attention to detail and his ability to convey the texture of the water and the anguish on Satan's face are particularly noteworthy. The composition draws the viewer's eye to the central figure of Satan, whose muscular form and defiant pose contrast with the swirling waters that threaten to engulf him.

As an artist, Richard Edmond Flatters was part of the French academic art movement, which valued classical standards of beauty, precision, and realistic representation. "Satan Plunges into the River Styx" is a testament to Flatters' skill and his engagement with literary themes that explore the complexity of the human condition and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

The painting remains an important work within the oeuvre of Flatters and serves as a significant example of 19th-century French academic painting. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its interpretation of one of the most influential works of English literature. The painting is also of interest to scholars of Romanticism and those exploring the visual culture of the period, as it reflects broader cultural trends and the preoccupations of the era.
