This image is depicting Satan crossing the bridge over chaos. This is him leaving chaos to get to Eden. But to do so, he had to cross this bridge which was made out of sin and death. This would be after the scene which depicts Satan leaving the Court of Chaos. This is significant because it marks the start of Satan journey through a dark evil place to corrupt Adam and Eve in Eden.

This image depicts Adam outstretching his hand to touch God’s outstretched hand. This painting is significant because it attempts to show the Creation of Adam by God in God’s image. God is reaching out to Adam to give him life and the mirrored outreaching arm from Adam is there to mimic God because God wanted Adam to be like him in his image. This image relates to the main image because of how Satans arm is outstretched while leaving the Court of Chaos as well.

This image is of the dark romantic style. It shows numerous individuals fighting. It also shows the strength of the human body. You see a flying demon in the background and a contrasts between the red and white. Those with red hair seem to be on the offensive while those with black hair seem to be trying to escape. This relates to the original image because of the human like qualities given to Satans body pertaining to his muscles. Also, Satans helmet has a red frill in the image and in this image, those with power have red hair, have red on them. The background looks like it’s on fire and it’s almost as if those with red have this fire in them that gives them strength.

This painting is of the early tricolor flag during the french revolution. The person holding it is a sans-culotte. They were a radical group, typically made out of farmers. This image is significant because it stands as a symbol of the passion and patriotism of the common man during the French Revolution. This is also related to the image because of the contrast between light and dark and because of the emotion shown in the painting. In the painting with satan, there is confusion, sadness, tiredness, anger, and satan is hiding his face which could mean that there is too much emotion to be expressed.
