A man kneels in red flames, his body twisted in pain. His muscles stand out against the dark background. A demon leans in, whispering something in his ear. Gustave Courtois painted this print in the late 1800s. He liked to show strong emotions in his work. This scene comes from an old story about a woman named Thais. See what else Courtois did by looking up Courtois, Gustave.
