EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Los smitten with astonishment. . . plate 12 from The First Book of Urizen" we are transported into the imaginative world created by William Blake. Measuring at 24.5x18.1 cm, this colour-printed relief etching with ink and watercolor showcases the artist's mastery in combining various mediums to bring his vision to life. The image depicts Los, a central character in Blake's mythology, crouching in awe as he witnesses the creation of Urizen in material form. Los is portrayed as astonished, his face filled with wonder and disbelief at the sight before him. The intricate details of this visionary illustration draw us into a realm where birth and death intertwine, where poetry meets horror. Blake's use of skeletons and bones adds an eerie element to the scene, evoking both fascination and unease within viewers. This romantic portrayal captures not only the physicality but also the essence of Urizen's emergence from spiritual realms into tangible existence. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of Blake's poetic genius that seamlessly merges visual art with written word. The accompanying text enhances our understanding of Los' astonishment while adding layers of meaning to the overall composition. This print held at Yale Center for British Art is a testament to Blake's unparalleled creativity and ability to transport us beyond conventional boundaries through his artistic expression.
