Painting Description
"Satan Starting from the Touch of Ithuriel's Spear" is a notable painting by the Swiss artist Henry Fuseli (born Johann Heinrich Füssli), created in 1779. The artwork is a visual interpretation of a scene from John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," specifically from Book IV, where the angel Ithuriel discovers Satan, who has taken the form of a toad in order to whisper corrupting thoughts into the ear of the sleeping Eve. Upon being touched by Ithuriel's spear, which has the power to reveal true forms, Satan is startled and transforms back into his own shape.
Fuseli's painting captures the dramatic moment of transformation, emphasizing the emotional intensity and supernatural elements that are characteristic of his Romantic style. The work is a testament to Fuseli's fascination with the sublime, the gothic, and the psychologically charged themes that often feature in his oeuvre. His depiction of Satan is marked by a dynamic composition, with the figure's startled expression and recoiling posture conveying the shock of exposure and the inherent drama of the scene.
The painting is an important example of Fuseli's contribution to Romantic art and his influence on the visual arts' interpretation of literary works. It showcases his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through powerful imagery, and it remains a significant piece for both its artistic merit and its cultural impact in bringing to life one of the most memorable moments from Milton's "Paradise Lost."
