From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Restrike from fragment of cancelled plate for "A Prophecy" is a 1793 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, depicting Tent, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a figure with arms outstretched, surrounded by swirls of lines and shapes. This work is interesting because it's a restrike from a cancelled plate, which means it was printed from a plate that was no longer being used. This gives us a glimpse into the artist's process. To learn more about the method used to create this piece, look into the technique: etching.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
