The Reunion of the Soul & the Body, from "The Grave," a Poem by Robert Blair 1813

"The Reunion of the Soul & the Body," an 1813 engraving by William Blake, depicts a dramatic scene of resurrection. A soul, clothed in a flowing gown, reaches down from the heavens to embrace a body rising from a tomb. The scene is set against a background of flames and clouds, emphasizing the intensity and emotional weight of the moment. Blake's signature use of fine lines and expressive detail gives the artwork a sense of both power and vulnerability. This piece, part of a series of illustrations for Robert Blair's poem "The Grave," explores themes of death, resurrection, and the eternal union of body and soul.
