EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Blake's masterpiece, "PD. 19-1950 Satan Tempts Christ with the Kingdoms of Earth from Milton's Paradise Regained". Created between 1816 and 1818, this pen and ink drawing with grey wash and watercolor on paper measures 25.1x42.6 cm and is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK. In this thought-provoking artwork, we witness a pivotal moment as Satan attempts to entice Christ with the kingdoms of Earth. The devil stands tall, his menacing presence accentuated by his pointed finger and halo-like glow surrounding him. Meanwhile, Christ remains resolute in the face of temptation amidst a barren wilderness. Blake skillfully captures the essence of John Milton's epic poem Paradise Regained through intricate details and powerful symbolism. This image delves into themes of sacrifice, spiritual struggle, and mankind's eternal battle against evil forces. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported to a realm where good clashes with evil—a timeless narrative that continues to resonate today. The artist invites us to contemplate our own temptations while pondering the sacrifices necessary for spiritual growth. With its profound depth and artistic brilliance, "PD. 19-1950 Satan Tempts Christ with the Kingdoms of Earth" serves as a testament to Blake's genius as well as an enduring reminder of humanity's constant search for truth amidst adversity.
