EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Blake's "Illustrations of the Book of Job; Jobs Evil Dreams, showing Jobs God". In this particular image, we witness a striking depiction of Job's God, who has transformed into Satan. With cloven hoofs and entwined by a serpent, Satan ominously points towards the Mosaic Tablets of the Law. The intense emotions conveyed through this artwork are palpable. Blake's masterful use of pen and watercolor over pencil creates an atmosphere filled with darkness and despair. The devilish figure is surrounded by fire and lightning, emphasizing the horror and terror that emanate from him. The presence of the snake further adds to the sense of foreboding as it slithers around Satan. This piece draws inspiration from the Old Testament story of Job, exploring themes such as suffering, faithfulness, and divine justice. Through his unique artistic interpretation, Blake delves deep into these profound concepts while evoking strong emotional responses in viewers. The 19.7x15.2 cm print is housed at The Morgan Library & Museum in New York City—a fitting location for such a thought-provoking masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded once again that art has an incredible power to transport us to different worlds and evoke complex emotions within us all.
