\u201cDevils are usually painted with Horns, Sawcer Eyes, Ugly Faces, Tayls, Cloven Feet, &c<\/em>. Milton<\/em>\u2019s Devils are No Such, He must be read Without Such Images, His are Seen to be Angels still, though Scarr\u2019d, and Disfigur\u2019d.\u2026No Man has Ever Thought in This, (as in Other Respects) like Milton<\/em>. O that he had Painted! and as he Conceiv\u2019d!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSatan was completely humanized by the 1790s. Never again do we see the animal-like Satan of Medina and Cheron nor even the stiff, puppet-like actor of Hayman and R. Corbould. Satan appears in the work of Barry, Fuseli and nineteenth-century artists with athletic form, handsome features and determined but suffering visage. Adam and Eve, Uriel, Raphael and Michael are all now minor characters in the drama. Satan is the embodiment of all that is of primary interest in Paradise Lost<\/em>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
