Satan, Sin, and Death: "Death and Sin met by Satan on his Return from Earth" 1792-95 James Barry Irish Miltons Paradise Lost (Book II: 630-814) describes Satans arrival at the Gates of Hell after being cast from Heaven. Satan, finding Death guarding the entrance, menaces that skeletal form as the bare-breasted figure of Sin intercedes (he does not recognize this ghastly opponent, conceived incestuously with Sin, as his son). This drawing, made as Barry planned a series of large etchings inspired by Miltons Paradise Lost, demonstrates the artists deep engagement with the aesthetic concept of the Sublime. His interest was encouraged by the philosopher Edmund Burke, an early patron whose 1757 treatise on the subject states that "terror.. in all cases [is.. the ruling principle of the sublime.". Satan, Sin, and Death: "Death and Sin met by Satan on his Return from Earth". James Barry (Irish, Cork 1741-1806 London). 1792-95. Graphite, brush and brown ink, gray and brown wash heightened
