I suppose that his sculptor, Ricardo Bellver, was seduced by Milton and his passionate description of the Fall, when he made the decision to sculpt Lucifer in a time and in a society, that of Madrid at the end of the 19th century, that would bring him notable headaches.

How can one legitimately think that neither God nor the Devil play dice with the Universe - spicing up Einstein's famous phrase - but separately, each one exerts its influence on the world, the famous statue of Bellver, due to a series of determined causes, did not end up being a victim of the Inquisition's hammer hammer, as witches once succumbed to the firewood, but ended up being part of a very specific place in Madrid's Parque del Buen Retiro.

So eminent, of course, and from such a curiously detailed way, not to repeat the word causality, that many of the innocent walkers who surround it every day, in one sense or another, really ignore: its situation, 666 meters above sea level above sea level.

Now, whoever wants, as the famous heavy group Iron Maiden sang, to calculate the number of the Beast.
