EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Tyger, plate 41 from Songs of Experience" by the renowned English poet and artist William Blake. Created in 1794 using relief etching with watercolor, this masterpiece measures 18.4x12.1 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. In this evocative illustration, Blake's poetic genius comes to life as he delves into themes of innocence and experience through vivid imagery. The central focus is a majestic tiger, depicted with intricate detail that captures its raw power and enigmatic beauty. Set against a backdrop of darkness, illuminated only by moonlight filtering through dense foliage, the scene exudes an air of mystery and enchantment. Blake's accompanying text adds another layer to this visual feast; his words resonate deeply within our souls as we contemplate the eternal question: "Did He who made the Lamb make thee?". This profound inquiry invites us to ponder both creation and destruction, good and evil. "The Tyger" has become one of Blake's most famous works due to its timeless appeal. Its popularity lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its ability to provoke introspection on humanity's place in nature's grand tapestry. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported into a world where poetry intertwines seamlessly with artistry—a testament to Blake's enduring legacy as a romanticist visionary.
