Andrew, Simon Peter Searching for Christ 1819

This watercolor, "Andrew, Simon Peter Searching for Christ", is a work by William Blake, renowned for his visionary and mystical depictions of biblical scenes. Executed in 1819, the artwork depicts a dramatic moment from the Gospel of John, where the apostles Andrew and Simon Peter, dressed in flowing robes, look up to a radiant angel. The angels on either side of the apostles, with their bright colors, are both hovering above the ground and the ground below. This dynamic composition, characteristic of Blake's style, underscores the spiritual and symbolic nature of the scene. The work currently resides in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
