EDITORS COMMENTS
The Golden Legend: Lucifer flying over the city is a captivating and haunting image captured in this colour lithograph by Sidney Meteyard. The scene depicts Lucifer, the fallen angel, soaring above a sleeping city with an ominous glow surrounding him. The quote "Sleep, sleep, O city! till the light / Wake you to sin and crime again" adds to the eerie atmosphere of the artwork.
This illustration was created for The Golden Legend by H.W. Longfellow, a renowned poet known for his literary works inspired by medieval themes. Meteyard's intricate details and use of color bring this biblical character to life as he hovers over the town filled with darkness and impending doom.
The juxtaposition of light and shadow in this piece symbolizes the eternal battle between good and evil, showcasing Lucifer's malevolent presence looming over humanity. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to a time when legends and myths held great power over people's beliefs.
Overall, The Golden Legend: Lucifer flying over the city is a thought-provoking work of art that invites contemplation on morality, temptation, and redemption within society. It serves as a reminder of our own inner demons that may lurk beneath the surface waiting to be awakened once more.
