EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by William Blake that delves into complex themes of human emotions and relationships. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness Los, a central character from Blake's prophetic illuminated book, engrossed in forging chains while accompanied by Enitharmon and Orc. The image exudes an ethereal quality as vibrant colors dance across the relief etching. The juxtaposition of light and shadow highlights every sinewy muscle on Los' naked form, emphasizing his strength and power. However, it is not physical prowess that takes center stage here but rather the tumultuous emotional turmoil within. Blake masterfully captures Los' jealousy towards his own child, Orc. As tension builds between father and son, we witness a metaphorical representation through the tightening girdle around Los' neck. This symbolizes both restraint and control as well as self-inflicted suffering caused by envy. Through this thought-provoking composition, Blake invites us to reflect upon our own experiences with jealousy and its consequences. The artist's poetic vision transcends time as he explores universal human emotions within a mythical context. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Blake's artistic genius - seamlessly blending poetry with visual artistry to create an evocative narrative that continues to resonate with viewers today.
