EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in William Blake's iconic illuminated book, "America a Prophecy". In this artwork, we witness the powerful and evocative scene of Orc's liberation from captivity. Orc symbolizes Energy itself, breaking free from the constraints imposed by his parents Los and Enitharmon. The image portrays an ethereal nude male figure emerging triumphantly amidst flames and fire. The intensity of his expression reflects both pain and determination as he rises above his confinement. As viewers, we are drawn into this dramatic narrative that unfolds within Blake's visionary world. Blake created this relief etching with watercolor in 1793 during the American War of Independence era. It is one plate among many that compose his larger work known as "Lambeth Prophecy". Through intricate details and symbolism, Blake explores themes such as freedom, rebellion, and transformation. This particular print measures 26x17 cm and belongs to a private collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate its historical significance while also marveling at its artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing composition by William Blake, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to capture profound human emotions and convey timeless messages about liberty and self-realization.
