EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Awake! Awake Jerusalem. . ". William Blake invites us into a world of poetic prophecy and visionary art. Plate 97 from his renowned work "Jerusalem" the image showcases Blake's mastery of relief etching, brought to life with vibrant orange hues, delicate watercolor washes, and touches of gold. At first glance, we are drawn to the central figure – a male nude known as Albion. Bathed in celestial light, he stands tall amidst a landscape that seems both earthly and ethereal. The sun rises behind him, casting its warm glow upon his form, while the moon and stars still linger in the sky above. Blake's composition exudes an air of anticipation as dawn breaks over Jerusalem. It is not just a physical awakening but also a spiritual one – an invitation for Jerusalem itself to rise from slumber and embrace its divine destiny. The intricate details within this artwork reflect Blake's profound understanding of poetry and illustration. Each stroke carries meaning; each element contributes to the overall narrative. Through his unique blend of romanticism and mysticism, Blake transports us into realms beyond our imagination. As we gaze at this mesmerizing piece held by Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, we can't help but be captivated by the power of artistic expression. It reminds us that art has no boundaries – it transcends time and space to touch our souls with its beauty and profound messages.
