Illustrations of The Book of Job by William Blake
"Illustrations of The Book of Job" by William Blake is a series of twenty-two engraved prints published in 1826. These works illustrate the biblical Book of Job through intricate engravings featuring complex marginal designs with biblical quotes and symbolic imagery. Blake developed the series from earlier watercolor sets, creating his final major completed work using a distinctive pure line engraving technique. The illustrations explore themes of suffering, spirituality, and divine revelation through
extensive symbolism, including the significant use of right and left limbs to represent good and evil. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
