"Satan on his Throne" is a notable illustration by the English romantic painter and engraver John Martin, created as part of a series of mezzotint engravings for John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost." The illustration, which was produced in the early 19th century, is a visual representation of the poem's central antagonist, Satan, depicted in the aftermath of his fall from grace, as he presides over the infernal council in the depths of Hell.

John Martin (1789–1854) was renowned for his dramatic and often apocalyptic artistic style, which he applied to various biblical and literary subjects. His work on "Paradise Lost" is particularly celebrated for its grandeur and imaginative interpretation of Milton's complex narrative. In "Satan on his Throne," Martin captures the brooding majesty and tragic grandiosity of the fallen archangel, emphasizing themes of rebellion, despair, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

The illustration is characterized by Martin's use of stark contrasts between light and darkness, with Satan illuminated against the shadowy backdrop of his demonic court. The composition reflects the romantic era's fascination with the sublime and the gothic, as well as the period's interest in exploring the psychological depths of literary figures. Martin's "Satan on his Throne" not only serves as a visual companion to Milton's text but also stands as an independent work of art that has influenced the visual arts and popular culture's portrayal of the infernal realm and its ruler.

As part of the larger body of Martin's illustrations for "Paradise Lost," "Satan on his Throne" contributes to the enduring legacy of both the artist and the epic poem. The work is held in high regard by art historians and literary scholars alike, and it continues to be studied and exhibited as an exemplary piece of romantic illustration.
