Description

This specialized book contains over 250 portrayals of the fiendish in fine art paintings, lithographs, illuminated manuscripts, etchings and sculptures. Each image presents a vivid and compelling, if harrowing, selection of arresting visions, guaranteed to elicit equal measures of terror and fascination in the reader. Accompanied by text that explores the complex iconography developed by artists throughout the centuries to put form to chaos and evil, the book explores the dark underbelly of both artistic discipline and human nature.
