John Collier, Lilith. 1892. Oil on canvas (1887)
John William Waterhouse, Lamia. 1905. Oil on Canvas. 'Lamia' is Greco-latin
equivalent of lilith-demon. The Vulgate uses the term to translate 'Lilith' in Isaiah 34.14.
For Waterhouse, the distinction between lamia and lilith would have been moot. Here, and in the
following picture, she is portrayed as a succubus.
John William Waterhouse, Lamia. 1909. Oil on Canvas. See previous comment.

This was a painting, but all I have is this copy. Nor do I know anything
more about it, other than that it appeared in the journal Zeitschrift
für bildende Kunst, N. F. 5, 1893. If you know anything more -
where the original resides, for example - and particularly if you have a
copy of the original, please let me know.I also know that a copy (print) exists at Brigham Young Univ.

Salvador Dali. Lilith and the Double Victory of Samothrace,
1966, bronze. This sculpture is visual midrash on the famous sculpture(s) of Nike
(The Winged Victory of Samothrace). It is apparently two
models of the classical sculpture fused face to face. How this
connects to Lilith, I am not sure. Write me if you have an explanation.
The photos are actually of a copy belonging to Dr. Poleon Yee,

of Modern Art, Inawashiro, Japan.

H.R. Giger. Lilith. If you are even a little familiar
with Giger's work,
you can't be too surprised to find that he portrayed
Lilith. She made the cover of one of his books, in fact.

I have been unable to verify the details on
