EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by William Blake that showcases his visionary and poetic genius. In this artwork, we witness a profound moment of separation as two male figures are split in two. The floating, bearded prophet stands at the center with his long white beard flowing gracefully, symbolizing wisdom and age. Blake's romanticist style shines through in this illustration, where he combines elements of mythology and spirituality to create a thought-provoking narrative. The nude bodies of the figures emphasize their vulnerability and nakedness before the eternal forces that divide them. The use of color-printed relief etching with ink and watercolor on paper adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into Blake's imaginative world filled with symbolism and allegory. This artwork is part of Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. It serves as a testament to Blake's artistic mastery and his ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling. "Thus the Eternal Prophet was divided. . " invites us to contemplate themes of duality, separation, poetry, and spirituality while marveling at Blake's extraordinary talent as an artist.
