il diavolo
The devil is a beautiful woman. She does have little devil-horns and rather terrifying talons where her feet should be, but she is beautiful. This motif is found in the many Renaissance paintings entitled The Temptation of St. Anthony. the wings of an angel means 'fallen angel'.I imagined Lucifer,at first.I read Lucifer is "the brightest angel, even the child of Light.This Lucifer became the chief of the fallen angels.

And from an other point of view,it's a captive of love,this guy is utterly captivated by her beauty.even though he think it is not good thing,he can't help thinkng of her.
the garland of vivid blue roses underlining the fact that he is already entangled.
the blue roses means:a difficulty



I don't intend that I love the devil however the woman(the motif of this card)is most beautiful of my images.it is because I wanted to draw 'an enchantress'.(devilish)

who yields to tempration if the devil'ｓ appearance is too ugly?In my opinion,some devils come to the person.(with an angel face,at first moment,hiding the devil-horns and talons)

By the way,when I imagined the motif,the BDM was Sicilienne.
