Plate 21, Job and his Wife Restored to Prosperity - A Symbolic Celebration of Music and Happiness
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the Book of Job, created by the renowned artist William Blake in 1825, we witness a powerful scene of restoration and joy. The illustration showcases Job and his wife surrounded by a heavenly aura as they are embraced by prosperity once again. At the center of this vibrant composition stands Job, depicted as a righteous man who has endured immense suffering but never lost faith. He holds a trumpet in one hand, symbolizing both his musical talent and triumphant proclamation of restored blessings. Beside him is his wife, radiating happiness as she plays a melodious tune on her harp. Angels hover above them, their presence representing divine intervention that has brought about this newfound abundance. The angels hold trumpets too, joining in the celebration with harmonious melodies that resonate throughout the artwork. The couple's flock of sheep grazes peacefully nearby while rams stand proudly alongside them—a testament to their regained health and prosperous livelihoods. This scene serves as an uplifting reminder that even after enduring hardship, there can be renewal and fulfillment. Blake's masterful use of black carbon ink on paper brings depth to every stroke, emphasizing the emotional intensity within each figure. Plate 21 captures not only the beauty of music but also the resilience of human spirit when faced with adversity. Displayed at Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge University (UK), this timeless masterpiece continues to inspire viewers
