1757 1827 1825 Book William Blake Knew Voices Wept

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by William Blake, titled "Book Job No 7 lifted up eyes afar off knew voices" we are transported to a scene of profound emotion and despair. The image depicts a group of figures standing at a distance, their eyes fixed on an unknown subject. As they gaze into the distance, their faces filled with sorrow and confusion, they lift their voices in lamentation. Blake's masterful use of line and shading brings depth and intensity to each figure's expression. Their anguish is palpable, as if they have just received devastating news or witnessed an unimaginable tragedy. The artist skillfully captures the universal human experience of feeling lost and helpless in the face of adversity. The title alludes to the biblical story of Job, who endured immense suffering but remained faithful to his beliefs. This print encapsulates one pivotal moment in that narrative when Job's friends encounter him after his misfortunes have befallen him. Unable to recognize him due to his disfigurement from illness, they respond with tears and mourning. Through this powerful artwork, Blake invites us to reflect on our own experiences of hardship and loss while reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is solace in shared grief. It serves as a poignant reminder that empathy can bridge gaps between strangers and provide comfort during times of great distress.
