Blake's intricate engraving beautifully captures the essence of human suffering and anguish. The drawing portrays a sense of empathy as it highlights God's concern for those who are troubled and afflicted. The poignant quote accompanying the illustration reads, "Did I not weep for him who was in trouble? Was not my soul afflicted for the poor?". The artist skillfully conveys emotions through his detailed depiction of angels as spirits and ministers represented by flaming fire. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst trials and tribulations, there is divine compassion that can provide solace. Dating back to 1826, this piece exemplifies Blake's mastery in merging art with religious themes. His profound understanding of biblical narratives shines through every stroke on paper.
