Description
A detailed engraving from William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job, depicting the restoration of Job through acts of charity.
This engraving is plate 19 from William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job, a series produced during the final years of his career. The composition depicts the restoration of Job, who sits beneath a tree with his wife, receiving gifts of money from visitors. Blake employs a distinct visual language, combining a central narrative scene with elaborate marginalia. The borders contain floating figures and inscriptions that frame the main action, creating a sense of spiritual enclosure.
Blake's technique relies on fine, controlled lines to define the musculature of the figures and the textures of their garments. The drapery is rendered with a rhythmic quality, characteristic of his late style. The scene balances the earthly act of charity with celestial imagery, as the figures in the margins suggest a divine presence observing the events below. The text integrated into the design serves both a narrative and decorative function, guiding the viewer through the moral arc of the story.
As a master of printmaking, Blake utilised the copperplate medium to achieve a high level of detail. The contrast between the shaded central panel and the lighter, more ethereal borders creates a clear hierarchy of focus. This work reflects the artist's preoccupation with biblical themes and his unique approach to combining text and image. The print is a fine example of his technical precision and his ability to translate complex theological concepts into visual form. It remains a significant piece within his body of work, demonstrating his command over the engraving process and his imaginative interpretation of scripture.

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.
