T he Gold Paradise L ost Scroll of Lindall

Terrance Lindall completed on December 8, 2009 what is considered by the few who have seen it already to be the most unusual painting for Milton's Paradise Lost ever done. It is in the form of a scroll that reads from right to left like a Torah. It is 14 inches high and 48 inches long with several highly detailed 24 K (23.75) gold illuminated miniatures.

Ten (10) highest quality Giclee prints facsimiles on canvas and signed by the artist have been produced. They are the same size as the original (with border 50” x 17”) and they look exactly like to original painting in every detail except for the use of gold leaf on the original. As of this printing only three remain available.

One Hundred (100) slightly smaller Giclee prints on watercolor paper (with border 45” x 15.3” are being produced.

This facsimile edition of the Gold Scroll has already been purchased for the following renowned collections:

1) Huntington Library in California. The Huntington’s highlights include one of the world’s most extensive collections of William Blake material, most notably the original illustrations for Milton’s Paradise Lost.
