The Lord Answering Job out of the Whirlwind is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two figures in a stormy scene. One person sits on the ground, wrapped in a cloak, looking up. The other stands above them, surrounded by swirling winds and clouds. The lines are all scratchy and layered, making the scene feel wild and dramatic. The text around the image is from the Bible, about Job hearing God’s voice in a storm. The artist used tiny lines to build up the dark shapes, making the wind look fierce. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this one create prints.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
