Jerusalem The Emanation of the Giant Albion; plate 76 Albion before Christ crucified
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by William Blake, titled "Jerusalem The Emanation of the Giant Albion; plate 76 Albion before Christ crucified" invites viewers into a world of profound symbolism and spiritual exploration. Measuring at 22.1x15.9 cm, this relief etching finished with watercolor showcases Blake's mastery in combining various artistic techniques. In this particular plate, we witness an ethereal scene unfolding before our eyes. At the center stands Albion, a powerful male figure representing humanity itself. Bathed in the gentle hues of sunrise, he stands naked as a symbol of vulnerability and purity. The Tree of Knowledge and Good and Evil looms ominously behind him, its branches reaching towards heaven while its roots delve deep into earthly realms. This juxtaposition suggests that mankind is caught between these opposing forces - torn between divine enlightenment and worldly desires. Blake's meticulous attention to detail brings out every intricate line and contour on Albion's body, emphasizing his physicality but also hinting at his inner struggles. Through this visual narrative, Blake prompts us to reflect upon our own journey towards self-discovery and spiritual awakening. As we gaze upon this illuminated book page from a private collection, we are reminded once again of William Blake's genius as both poet and artist – offering us glimpses into mystical worlds where imagination intertwines with reality.
