EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Blake's masterpiece, "Songs of Innocence and of Experience: The Tyger". Created in 1825, this brown ink etching hand-coloured in watercolour is a true testament to Blake's artistic genius. Measuring at 15.7x14.1 cm, it resides within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. The artwork itself is part of Blake's larger collection of poems titled "Songs of Innocence and of Experience" which explores the contrasting states of the human soul. In this particular piece, known as "The Tyger". Blake skillfully depicts the transition from religious faith and acceptance to disillusionment and anger after the Fall. Through fine detail and flowing lines, Blake captures the pastoral beauty found in his poems on innocence. However, with bolder outlines and a sense of fury conveyed through his bardic verses in experience, he portrays a darker side filled with disillusionment. This print not only highlights Blake's exceptional talent but also emphasizes his visionary approach to artistry. The intricate hand colouring adds depth and richness to the illustration while gilded accents enhance its romantic allure. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, let yourself be transported into an English world where spirituality intertwines with poetry and animals become symbols for deeper meanings.
