Original Description
William Strang’s Paradise Lost, The Complete Suite of Twelve Plates (1896) is a hauntingly evocative series of etchings that brings to life John Milton’s epic poem with dramatic intensity. Strang, a master of late 19th-century printmaking, employs a bold, chiaroscuro-heavy style, where deep shadows contrast starkly with radiant highlights, creating a sense of divine grandeur and earthly turmoil. Each plate meticulously captures pivotal moments from Paradise Lost, from Satan’s defiant rebellion to Adam and Eve’s tragic fall, rendered with intricate detail and emotional depth. His work reflects the influence of Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt, blending Northern Renaissance precision with symbolic modernism. This suite is celebrated not only for its technical brilliance but also for its psychological insight, securing Strang’s place as a pivotal figure in British symbolist art. Today, the series is revered as a landmark in narrative printmaking, bridging Victorian moral allegory and early 20th-century existential themes.
For display, these etchings command a space that balances reverence and visual harmony. Ideal for a study, library, or executive office, they pair well with dark wood furniture and rich, muted tones like burgundy or forest green to amplify their dramatic contrast. A large, gilt-edged frame would accentuate their historic gravitas, while gallery-style lighting ensures their intricate lines gleam. Given their modest size (each plate measures roughly 8x6 inches), grouping them as a sequenced ensemble on a feature wall creates a compelling narrative flow. Alternatively, a single framed plate above a leather-upholstered armchair or walnut desk can serve as a striking focal point. Avoid overly bright or minimalist settings—opt instead for textures and materials (velvet, aged brass) that echo the etchings’ timeless, allegorical weight.
