The Angel of the Revelation is a powerful and visionary work by the English artist and poet William Blake. Part of his series of illustrations for the Bible, this hand-colored print depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, where a "mighty angel" descends from heaven.
Blake portrays the angel as a colossal, muscular figure, a fusion of classical anatomy and divine, otherworldly power. The angel stands with one foot on land and the other on the sea, his arm raised to the heavens as he makes a solemn oath. A radiant light emanates from him, piercing through the dark, turbulent clouds that swirl around his lower body. Within these clouds, smaller figures can be seen, representing humanity caught in the throes of the apocalypse.
The work is a quintessential example of Blake’s unique style.
