The Art of the Devil - An Illustrated History

The first complete illustrated book on the devil in art history and pop culture.

This richly illustrated volume offers a sweeping visual and cultural history of the Devil as portrayed in art across civilizations and centuries. From medieval manuscripts to contemporary surrealism, The Art of the Devil explores how artists have imagined the diabolic figure—as seducer, adversary, scapegoat, and mirror of human fears. Here are artistic masterpieces, engravings, ancient documents, books, posters, postcards, tarots, album covers, comics, objects, and plenty of oddities related to the world of demons, the occult, and evil. Featuring works by Goya, Bosch, Blake, Redon, and even Cindy Sherman, this book is both an art historical study and a darkly beautiful? compendium of humanity’s fascination with evil.
