"When the Morning Stars Sang Together" is a watercolor painting by William Blake, completed in 1820. The artwork, currently housed at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City, depicts a scene of divine creation with a central figure representing God. The artwork is a visual interpretation of the biblical verse from Job 38:7: "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." Blake’s use of vivid colors and symbolic imagery is characteristic of his style, creating a powerful and enigmatic visual narrative. This painting is a significant example of Blake's artistic and spiritual vision.
