Description

LUXIFER In modern and late Medieval Christian thought, Lucifer is usually a fallen angel commonly associated with Satan, the embodiment of evil and enemy of God. Lucifer is generally considered, based on the influence of Christian literature and legend, to have been a prominent archangel in heaven (although some contexts say he was a cherub or a seraph), prior to having been motivated by pride to rebel against God. When the angel failed, Lucifer was cast out of heaven, along with a third of the heavenly host, and came to reside on the world. Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Greek eosphorus ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphorus, "light-bearer") used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity. In that passage, Isaiah 14:12, it referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later interpretations of the text, and the influence of embellishments in works such as Dante's The Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost, led to the common idea in Christian mythology and folklore that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan. Michael (Hebrew: מיכאל, Micha'el or M

Impressionante scena di gran azione e molto espressivi personaggi...!!! Il cielo sorprendente e gli effetti di illuminazione rinforzano molto bene l'idea della lotta tra il bene ed il male....!!!

A classic of christian mithology, and an amazing representation - lucifer eyes looks somewhat weird? Or maybe that's just because i can't cross eyes with the Enemy? (enemy because i'm already trying to conquer the world and i can't tolerate interferences, that is...) - anyway it's looking very good and epic... i just hope they don't splat blood over my car... as if the pigeons weren't enough... oh, wait... i don't have a car! It's fine then! :D
