EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print titled "Fiery Angels rose. . . plate 13 from America: A Prophecy" the legendary English poet and artist William Blake transports us to a realm where imagination reigns supreme. This exquisite relief etching, printed in blue with pen & ink and watercolor, showcases Blake's mastery in capturing the essence of Romanticism. At its center, we witness a powerful allegory unfolding before our eyes. A fearless female figure soars through the heavens on the back of a majestic serpent, symbolizing both danger and transformation. Her presence evokes the spirit of liberty that ignited during the American Revolutionary War. Beside her, a nude male figure rides upon a graceful swan, embodying purity amidst chaos. Together, they represent hope for a new era marked by freedom and enlightenment.

The intricate details bring life to this poetic scene as it unfolds against an ethereal backdrop. This artwork serves as an enduring testament to Blake's ability to merge visual artistry with profound poetry. It invites viewers into his world—where dreams intertwine with reality—and encourages contemplation about humanity's eternal quest for liberation. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this mesmerizing piece continues to inspire generations with its timeless message of revolution and transcend
