EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jerusalem The Emanation of the Giant Albion; plate 51 Vala, Hyle and Skofeld" by William Blake takes us on a journey through despair and symbolism. In this mesmerizing image, we witness the fallen Jerusalem, represented as the crowned Vala, crouched in profound anguish. Her sorrow is palpable as she is accompanied by two acolytes - Hyle personifying William Hayley and Scofeld representing John Scolfield. Blake's masterful line engraving printed in relief brings out every intricate detail of this thought-provoking scene. The composition measures 15.5x22.2 cm and belongs to a private collection that cherishes its artistic significance. The artist skillfully employs various elements to convey deeper meanings within the artwork. A chain symbolizes bondage or captivity while hell signifies torment or suffering. Additionally, nudity portrays vulnerability and exposes raw emotions. As viewers delve into this illuminated book illustration from c1804-20, they are invited to reflect upon themes of loss, redemption, and human frailty. It serves as a reminder that even great cities like Jerusalem can experience downfall and despair. This remarkable piece is made available for public appreciation thanks to www. bridgemanart. com who has preserved it for generations to come.
