By Ernst and Johanna Lehner

"Throughout history, artists have grappled with the problem of depicting clearly and forcefully the principles of evil and suffering in human existence." With this view, the Lehners have collected 214 representations, symbols, and manuscript pages of devils and death from Egyptian times to 1913. Reproductions from Dürer, Holbein, Cranach, Rembrandt and many other lesser known or unknown artists illustrate the fascinating history. The 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries are stressed.
