EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Two nostrils bent down to the deep. . . plate 16 from The First Book of Urizen" transports us into the imaginative world of William Blake. A masterpiece created in 1794, this colour-printed relief etching with ink and watercolor on paper is housed at the prestigious Yale Center for British Art. In this ethereal scene, a floating male figure emerges from a dreamlike sky, surrounded by billowing clouds. His nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and purity as he delicately holds back the celestial veil above him. The artist's visionary approach is evident through his meticulous attention to detail and poetic execution. Blake's romanticist style shines through in every brushstroke, capturing both the physical and spiritual realms within one frame. The text accompanying this illustration adds another layer of depth, inviting viewers to delve into its poetic verses that explore themes of creation and divine intervention. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power of imagination and how it can transport us beyond our earthly constraints. It serves as a testament to Blake's genius as an artist who dared to challenge conventional norms while embracing his own unique vision. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Blake's technical skill but also his ability to evoke emotion and provoke thought through his artistry.
