Procure Art Of The Devil Engineered By Arturo Graf Manuscript

Beelzebub, Luciferthe Devil has many names and faces, all of which have always served such artists as Dante, Goethe, or Rodin as a source of inspiration, Graf explores the story of the Devil through the ages and gives an impassioned description of its evolution, Views of the Dark One

ART OF THE DEVIL is a fascinating book that author Arturo Graf has curated and written, The book looks at images of the Devil or Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Antichrist, Abaddon, Mammon, serpent, Perdition, Fallen Angel, among many other names as depicted by artists for centuries.
. The book is rich in reproductions of images from frescoes, paintings, drawings, book illustrations that extend from medieval times to the present, It is entertaining to see how the world at certain times in history gave the devil different faces and personalities: the hideous beastie from early sacred books and paintings, such as the dark presence from Dante's Inferno, becoming the very darkly handsome character as in the drawings and paintings reflecting Goethe's Faust story, to the fallen angel of the PreRaphaelite artists, and the sculpture of the large 'Hand of the Devil' clutching man.


What makes this 'picture book' so special is the quality of writing of Arturo Graf, a writer and art historian who is

unafraid to impose his own quality of drama and suspense to his study.
This is a very worthy book for the art library of all those who are fascinated by ancient art and who simultaneously enjoy studying the changing perception of one character.
The Devil has never been so available to study!
