Satan Exulting over Eve 1795

William Blake's "Satan Exulting over Eve" is a powerful watercolor depicting the moment when Satan, in the form of a serpent, tempts Eve to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. The painting captures the dramatic moment, using bold lines and vibrant colors to emphasize the intensity of the encounter. Blake's detailed depiction of Satan's serpentine form and Eve's vulnerability draws attention to the theme of temptation and its consequences. This artwork is considered one of Blake's most iconic works and is a testament to his creative genius.
