God Judging Adam 1795 – William Blake Canvas Stretched, 1.5”

Description

Made with hand-stretched fabric on a wooden frame, these prints are extremely durable with a long-lasting semi-glossy finish.

Description:

• The composition features two central figures:
  • Adam: A nude man, representing humanity.
  • God: Seated on a fiery chariot, symbolizing divine judgment.
• The fiery chariot adds an otherworldly dimension, emphasizing the gravity of the moment.
• The scene is rich in symbolism, drawing from religious narratives and biblical themes.

Interpretation:

• For many years, scholars believed this image represented Elijah in the fiery chariot. However, recent analysis connects it to a passage in Genesis 3:17-19:
  • In this biblical passage, God condemns Adam for tasting the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
  • The artwork captures the moment of judgment and the consequences of human disobedience.

Unique Method:

• Blake’s print was made using a unique method of his invention.
• His artistic vision transcends traditional techniques, infusing the scene with emotional intensity.
