Four angels sing at the dawn while God spreads his arms below

Across the top of the sheet four white-robed angels stand in a row against a deep blue night still scattered with stars, their arms raised and mouths open in song. Below them a white-bearded God stretches both arms wide along the cloud bank, and beneath that, in a dark cave-like register, Job and his wife and three friends kneel and look up — one woman with hands pressed together, one figure in a spotted yellow robe, another in grey. At the left the horses of the sun push into the frame in gold; at the right a dark red shape recedes into shadow. From Blake's watercolour series for the Book of Job.

William Blake (1757–1827) was a London engraver, poet and visionary who claimed to have seen angels in a tree at Peckham Rye as a boy and never stopped drawing what he saw. Ignored in his lifetime and buried in an unmarked grave, he invented his own printing method, his own mythology and his own theology; a century later the Symbolists, the Surrealists and half of modern counter-culture claimed him as an ancestor.
