The International Exhibition: "Lucifer", a plaster statue, by Constantio Corti, 1862. Creator: Unknown.

The International Exhibition: "Lucifer", a plaster statue, by Constantio [sic] Corti, 1862. 'There he is, scowling fiercely around, and as if vehemently asserting a large interest and share in all he surveys...this "Satana" by the Milanese sculptor, Signor Corti, is a noteworthy work of art...[but it] is not sufficiently grand and majestic. The figure is too slight, the features too feminine...In execution, however, this statue deserves high praise. The anatomy and modelling of the legs and extremities are first-rate. Pain (the cause of which is indicated in the fire surging round the rock) - intensely felt yet mastered by superhuman fortitude - is finely expressed in the bent brows, dilated nostrils, gasping mouth, clenched fist, and retracted toes, and, above all, in the fearful spasm of the indrawn abdomen'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
