The work depicts a scene from Milton’s Paradise Lost representing the capital of Satan’s kingdom. This painting in the Louvre also retains its original frame designed by the artist, the only one of his works that does.

Demon by Mikhail Vrubel, 1890
Paintings (Reproductions) / Russian / Symbolist - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “Demon” by Mikhail Vrubel of 1890. This wonderful Symbolist creation shows a masterful depiction of the simultaneous despair and pride traditional in the psyche of demons. Vrubel had always attempted to portray Christ figures and never satisfied himself. Perhaps in reaction to these failures to his own standards, Vrubel concentrated on works of showing demons. The original size of this beautiful work is 213.8 cm by 116.5 cm. Vrubel was thirty-four years old when he painted this and went blind four years before his death in 1910. This masterpiece is in the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
