Job and His Family Restored to Prosperity is a 1821 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people standing in a line, all facing forward. The central figures include a man with a long white beard holding a staff, two women in long robes, and others playing instruments or holding flags. At the bottom, sheep are lying on the ground, and the sky above is filled with clouds and a crescent moon. The text in the painting says, *"Great Men! Men! Men! are thy Works!"*—a bold statement that stands out. The artist used soft watercolors to create gentle, dreamy shapes. Next, check out Blake, William to see how he mixed bold ideas with quiet colors.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
