EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ages on ages rolled over him. . . plate 9 from The First Book of Urizen" by William Blake transports us into a realm where time and torment intertwine. This exquisite piece, created in 1794, showcases Blake's mastery of colour-printed relief etching with watercolour. In this haunting image, we witness a vulnerable male figure immersed in the depths of sleep. His nude form lies motionless as if trapped within his own dreamscape. As ages pass relentlessly above him, he becomes a mere spectator to the relentless passage of time. Blake's romanticist approach is evident through the ethereal quality that permeates the composition. The delicate use of colours adds an otherworldly touch to the scene, enhancing its poetic nature. It is as if we are witnessing not only a dream but also a nightmare unfolding before our eyes. The tormented expression on the subject's face hints at inner turmoil and suffering beyond imagination. We are left wondering about the horrors that haunt his subconscious mind and what demons he battles during his slumber. This evocative artwork invites us to contemplate themes such as mortality, existential dread, and human vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that even in our most peaceful moments – when we surrender ourselves to sleep – darkness can still find its way into our minds. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art within their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this remarkable print continues to captivate viewers with its profound exploration of human emotions and experiences across time immem
