EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 76 from Jerusalem, 1804-20" is a remarkable creation by the renowned artist William Blake. Measuring at 22.2x16 cm, this relief etching printed in orange with pen & w/c on paper holds its place within the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection at the Yale Center for British Art in the USA. The image itself depicts a profound scene that immediately captures one's attention. Looking up towards the heavens, we witness Jesus Christ nailed to a tree, his outstretched arms symbolizing sacrifice and redemption. The use of vibrant orange hues adds an ethereal quality to this poignant portrayal. Blake's artistic genius shines through as he masterfully combines elements of romance and vision in this poetic composition. The nude male figure serves as a powerful representation of vulnerability and humanity amidst divine intervention. The theme of crucifixion resonates deeply within this artwork, evoking emotions of sorrow and contemplation. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs and spirituality while contemplating Albion – an allegorical figure representing England or Britain. As we admire this extraordinary piece, it becomes evident why William Blake remains one of history's most influential artists. His ability to convey complex ideas through visual imagery continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
