(Detail) Le génie du mal or The Genius of Evil, known informally in English as Lucifer or The Lucifer of Liège by Guillaume Geefs
Correction: This is L’ange du Mal not Le Genie du Mal.


Giuseppe Cellini (1855-1940), Melusina, Illustration for ‘Isaotta Guttadàuro ed altre poesie’ (Isaotta Guttadàuro and other poems) by Gabriele D’Annunzio (1863-1938)

“And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”
