Satan Before the Throne of God is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a dark, dramatic scene with lots of swirling lines. At the top, a glowing figure sits on a throne. Below, a big, angry-looking figure is being pushed down by smaller figures. The whole thing looks like it’s happening in a stormy sky. The text around the edges tells a story about Satan facing God. The artist used sharp lines to make everything look intense and full of movement. If you like this style, look up Blake, William.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
