William Blake was an artist and writer of astonishing power and originality who has inspired generations of poets, painters and artists of all ages. Seen by the British public of his day as a combination of individualism and creativity his poem “Tyger” and verses to the hymn “Jerusalem” are still revered today. His prints, numerous illuminated books, drawings and paintings continue to appeal to a wide audience. William Blake’s Watercolors for his Engravings Although Blake has become most famous for his watercolor illustrations and relief etchings, his commercial work largely consisted of intaglio engraving, the standard process of engraving in the eighteenth century in which the artist would incise an image into the copper plate which and then make multiple prints of a single image for publication and resale. Engravings were the ‘photographic illustrations’ of their day and the activity for which Blake was initially trained. Blake’s Watercolor Illustrations for the engravings for The Book of Job produced two sets of watercolors on the same subject (1806 and 1821). The watercolors and engravings are considered to be among Blake's greatest masterpieces in the medium of engraving. The series of watercolors were made for his patrons Thomas Butts and John Linell between 1805 and 1827. These, such as the plate of “Behemoth and Leviathan” give us the mythic scale of Job’s narrative the human dimension. Original Medium: Drawing and Watercolors on textures wove paper.
