The Vision of God is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows three figures in a dreamy, swirling scene. One person stands tall with long hair, reaching down. Two others kneel below, looking up. Around them, clouds and light mix like smoke. At the bottom, an open book with more writing frames the picture. The artist packed the edges with Bible verses. The lines and shading make the figures look almost alive, even though it’s just ink on paper. Want to see more of this style? Check out engraving.
