Zappa 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's a painting by William Blake called 'The Ancient of Days' done towards the end of the 18th Century. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmck 117 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) It supposedly depicts 'God' as an architect. Some of his other paintings were even crazier. That's Urizen from Blake's poems. Evil god. Blake's view of certain bits of the OT god - the god the priests, as opposed to the prophets, liked. The tyranny of reason and moral law. It's also an etching, rather than a painting - though paints involved. I have a big canvas of that on the wall in the hoose to remnid me never to be too logical.

Zappa 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Wow! I didn't realise it was an etching. That makes it pretty special. I've done a lot of etchings myself and know how difficult it is. What's the story then? Was it done by applying paint to the etching sheet before printing or was an etching print that was worked over with paints? What size is it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Now that you mention it Barry, it's pretty clear that it's an etching when you look at it, doh! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
