EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "When Wolves and Tygers. . ". William Blake transports us into a world of innocence and wonder. Plate 30 from his renowned collection, Songs of Innocence, the image is brought to life through hand-coloured relief etching with watercolour. The scene depicts a harmonious coexistence between wolves and tigers, two powerful creatures that symbolize strength and wildness. Blake's meticulous attention to detail captures the essence of these animals in their natural habitat. The vibrant colours evoke a sense of enchantment, as if we have stumbled upon an ethereal realm where imagination reigns supreme. Beyond its visual beauty, this artwork carries profound meaning. It speaks to the inherent harmony found in nature – a delicate balance between predator and prey. Through his poetic vision, Blake reminds us that even amidst chaos, there can be unity and peace. As we gaze at this masterpiece housed within the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, we are transported back to a time when literature was intertwined with artistry. This print serves as a testament to Blake's genius as both poet and artist. With every brushstroke carefully placed on paper, he invites us to explore our own inner worlds while celebrating the wonders of nature around us. In this timeless creation lies an invitation for contemplation – an opportunity to reflect on our place within the grand tapestry of existence.
