The Shepherd’s Dream, John Henry Fuseli 1793

This painting illustrates lines from Paradise Lost which speak of: “fairy elves, whose midnight revels by a forest side, or fountain some belated peasant sees, Or dreams he sees” Fuseli portrays the dreaming shepherd, while above him floats a vision of dancing fairies emerging from the darkness. With linked arms and rhythmic forms, echoed in the flowing folds of their clothes, they dominate the space over the hooded, slumbering shepherd. (from the museum’s homepage)Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. It was originally published in 1667 in ten books. A second edition followed in 1674, redivided into twelve books (in the manner of the division of Virgil’s Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. The poem concerns the Judeo-Christian story of the Fall of Man; the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton’s purpose, stated in Book I, is to “justify the ways of God to men” and elucidate the conflict between God’s eternal foresight and free will. (wikipedia)

Okay this has nothing to do with my blog whatsoever, but I wanted to get your guy’s opinion on it. :) Plus, I’m very proud of this because it literally took me forever to draw it. So what do you think?

This is beautiful!

Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?
