Los Entering the Grave 1820

"Los Entering the Grave" is a 1820 watercolor by the English Romantic artist William Blake. It depicts a man, likely the titular Los, entering a dark, shadowy doorway. The figure's outstretched arm and bright, almost glowing hat suggest he is stepping into a new, perhaps divine, realm. Blake was known for his vivid imagery and mystical themes, and this artwork is no exception. The contrast between the dark, claustrophobic space and the intense light emanating from Los' hat creates a sense of both fear and awe, characteristic of Blake's work.
