EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Chap: IV, Ages on ages roll'd over him" is a mesmerizing creation by the renowned artist William Blake. The artwork belongs to his collection called "The First Book of Urizen" and was produced in 1794. Measuring at 24.5x18.1 cm, this color-printed relief etching with ink and watercolor showcases Blake's exceptional talent. In plate 13 from the series, we encounter a stretching and straining male figure surrounded by text from chapter four of the book. The poetry and romanticism that emanate from this piece are truly awe-inspiring. The nakedness of the visionary illustration adds an element of vulnerability and raw emotion to the composition. Blake's mastery in capturing human form is evident as he flawlessly depicts every muscle and contour of the nude figure. Through his unique artistic style, he manages to convey a sense of timelessness as if ages upon ages have rolled over this enigmatic character. Housed within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this print continues to captivate viewers with its profound symbolism and poetic beauty. It serves as a testament to Blake's genius as both an artist and poet.
