Mercy and Truth are met together, Righteousness and Peace have kissed each other is a 1803 watercolor by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a bearded man in a robe sitting on a throne, holding an open book. Around him float angels with soft, glowing wings, some holding scrolls. Below, two smaller figures kneel, looking up at him with gentle faces. The soft, dreamy colors and swirling lines make the scene feel like a vision. The artist used watercolor to blend light and shadow smoothly. Next, look up Blake, William.
