devils

The figure of the devil , whatever its name, oscillates between two well-marked poles, a humanoid representation, an animal representation, but the two can be mixed, giving it this monster character.

Representations of the devil have not, however, remained uniform throughout history and across artists. A paradoxical figure, he is sometimes terrifying and repulsive, sometimes seductive to represent temptation.
More or less humanized, his faces are multiple:snake scales (the very symbol of sin), ghost, emaciated human with nails and pointed teeth, sporting wings (reminder of his status as a fallen angel), with red skin to recall flames...
