Beschreibung
A powerful engraving from William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job, depicting the moment of Job's spiritual revelation through precise line work.
This engraving is plate 17 from William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job, a series produced between 1823 and 1826. The work depicts the moment of Job's spiritual transformation, where he moves from a theoretical understanding of the divine to a direct, sensory experience of God. Blake employs his characteristic linear style, using precise hatching and cross-hatching to define the figures and the radiant light surrounding the central deity.
The composition is divided into distinct zones. The upper section contains text from the Psalms, while the central image shows the bearded figure of God standing before a kneeling Job and his wife. To the right, other figures are bowed in submission, their forms rendered with heavy, dark drapery that contrasts with the luminosity of the divine presence. The lower portion of the print features further scriptural passages integrated into the design, a hallmark of Blake's approach to combining text and image as a unified whole.
Blake's technical mastery of the copperplate medium is evident in the control of light and shadow. The radiance emanating from the figure of God is achieved through fine, radiating lines that draw the eye toward the centre of the composition. The figures themselves are rendered with a sense of weight and gravity, reflecting the solemnity of the biblical narrative. This print represents the culmination of Blake's long-standing interest in the Book of Job, a subject he explored through various media throughout his career. The work functions as a visual meditation on the nature of faith and the human relationship with the divine, presented with the clarity and discipline of a seasoned printmaker.

Artist Biography
William Blake
Blake saw angels in a tree when he was about eight years old, at Peckham Rye in south London. Bright angelic wings, he said, bespangling every bough like stars. When he reported this at home, his father nearly beat him for lying. His mother intervened. He was never sent to school. He later said he was grateful for this, having been spared being flogged into following the style of a fool.
He married Catherine Boucher in 1782. She was illiterate at the time and signed the marriage register with an X. He taught her to read, write, and engrave, and she became his collaborator for the next forty-five years: mixing paint, operating the printing press, hand-colouring plates, and binding the finished pages into covers.
Their working method was Blake's own invention, revealed to him (he said) in a dream by the spirit of his dead brother Robert. Relief etching reversed the standard printmaking process: instead of cutting lines into copper, Blake wrote and drew on the plate in acid-resistant varnish, then dissolved the surrounding metal with acid, leaving text and image raised. This allowed him to compose poetry and illustration simultaneously on a single plate, print them together, then hand-colour each sheet in watercolour. Every copy was therefore unique. Songs of Innocence and of Experience was produced this way. He sold fewer than thirty copies during his lifetime.
In 1803, he physically threw a soldier named John Schofield out of his garden in Felpham. He was charged with assault and with uttering treasonable expressions against the King. He was acquitted at the Chichester assizes in January 1804.
Newton, painted in 1795, shows the scientist as a young man with the body of a Greek god, bent forward at the bottom of a dark ocean, fixing his gaze on a pair of compasses, measuring and drawing on a scroll that appears to project from his own head. It is a painting about the limits of reason: beautiful, precise, and missing everything beyond the edge of the paper. The Ancient of Days, from the same period, depicts his mythological figure Urizen crouching at the edge of a void, reaching down with a compass to measure the darkness below.
He died on 12 August 1827, working on illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy. He was buried at Bunhill Fields. The wider recognition came decades later.
