The Accusers of Theft, Adultery, Murder (War) is a 1795 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts three men standing together, their faces contorted in a mixture of shock, anger, and fear. The man on the left wears a yellow tunic, while the central figure is dressed in black, and the man on the right is clad in blue. Each holds a spear, with the central figure grasping his head in distress. The background of the painting is a deep, foreboding red, which adds to the sense of tension and drama. The overall mood of the piece is one of turmoil and conflict. To learn more about this style of art, explore the Romanticism movement.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
