The Creation 1825 - 1826

"The Creation" (1825-26), a print by the English artist William Blake, depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis. The central image shows God creating the world, surrounded by a multitude of angels. Blake's use of line and detail are highly expressive, emphasizing the power and majesty of God. He was renowned for his unique interpretations of biblical narratives, which often explored themes of imagination, spirituality, and the human condition. The piece is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
