"Satan Before the Throne of God" (1825-1826) is an engraving by William Blake that depicts Satan being cast out of heaven. God sits atop a throne, while Satan, surrounded by angels and the souls of the damned, pleads for mercy. This complex composition, characterized by the intricate details of Blake's distinctive linework, explores themes of sin, redemption, and the power of divine judgment. The artwork is a powerful and evocative commentary on the human condition and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
