The Morning Comes
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of William Blake's iconic work, America, a Prophecy. This plate, number 6 in the series, showcases Blake's mastery of relief etching and watercolor on paper. Measuring 24x17 cm, this artwork can be found at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. In this allegorical masterpiece, Blake explores themes of revolution and vision through his distinctive artistic style. The central figure is a male nude with an ethereal glow surrounding him. His nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and truth while embodying the spirit of the American Revolution. The composition is rich with symbolism; a skull rests at the feet of the figure representing mortality and reminding viewers of life's transience. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life Blake's visionary world where imagination knows no bounds. Blake seamlessly combines text and image in "The Morning Comes" incorporating poetic verses alongside visual elements to create a harmonious whole. This fusion allows viewers to delve deeper into the narrative woven by Blake as they contemplate both words and visuals simultaneously. This print serves as a testament to Blake's genius as an artist who dared to challenge societal norms through his thought-provoking works. It invites us to reflect upon our own roles within society while celebrating human resilience and our capacity for change.
