拍品專文

Although Stock enjoyed success as a society portrait painter, his main area of interest was always imaginative subjects. He drew inspiration from Biblical themes, Dante, Shakespeare and Wordsworth, amongst others. Visually he was influenced by a wide range of artists such as the Pre-Raphaelites, Rembrandt, Blake and G.F. Watts.

Here we see Satan being cast into Hell as described in the Book of Revelation, ch. 19, v. 20. 'And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone'.
