From a fallen angel to a bearded, red-hued man with horns (wearing his very own Nike Satan shoes, as reported in
The Guardian) the Prince of Darkness appearance has been reinvented many times. The satanic figure of today is the result of centuries of art, literature and theatre, all sculpting a personification of evil.
To find out what the devil really looks like, All About History magazine spoke with Marina Montesano, professor of Medieval History at the University of Messina in Italy, and Jan Machielsen, senior lecturer in Early Modern History at Cardiff University in the UK. Both of these scholars are experts in the history of Satan and the occult.
