Notice French art showing Hell to Milton (4)
I believe the answer is:
ades
'hell to milton' is the definition.
(name for Hades used by John Milton)
'notice french art' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad' (both can mean an advertisement).
'french art' becomes 'es' ('is' in French - 'art' can mean 'is' eg 'thou art').
'ad'+'es'='ADES'
'showing' acts as a link.
(Another definition for ades that I've seen is " English composer".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
