The Vision of Eliphaz is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at The William Blake Archive.
This black-and-white engraving shows a tall, glowing figure standing over three people on the ground. The standing figure has long hair and a bright aura, while the three below look up with worried faces. Swirling lines and clouds fill the background, making everything feel dramatic and intense. The words around the edges quote Bible verses, adding to the scene’s heavy mood. The artist used fine lines to create light and shadow, making the figures look almost three-dimensional. Check out how this was made using engraving.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
