Job's Evil Dreams 1825

William Blake’s *Job’s Evil Dreams* (1825) is a powerful illustration from his *Illustrations of the Book of Job*. This engraved plate shows a tormented Job being attacked by monstrous figures, symbolizing the trials he endured. The scene is filled with swirling lines and dark imagery, echoing the turbulent dreams of Job. The caption at the bottom includes a quote from the Book of Job, capturing the essence of his suffering. Blake’s expressive style and use of dark symbolism are characteristic of his Romantic art and deeply resonate with the complex themes of faith, doubt, and suffering explored in the biblical story.
