"The Great Red Dragon and the Woman clothed with the sun" (1810) by William Blake is a watercolor painting depicting a scene from the Book of Revelation. The woman, clothed in the sun, represents the Virgin Mary, while the dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, symbolizes Satan. Blake's vivid imagery and symbolic representations of good versus evil have made this artwork a notable example of Romantic and apocalyptic art. The painting's use of color and light further enhances its dramatic impact.
