EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Then Thel astonish'd. . . plate 6 from The Book of Thel". William Blake takes us on a journey through the realms of imagination and emotion. Created in 1789, this relief etching printed in brown with watercolor showcases Blake's mastery as both an artist and poet. The image depicts a male figure gently cradling a female figure, while a delicate worm crawls nearby. The scene is filled with tenderness and vulnerability, evoking feelings of curiosity and wonder. It is as if we are witnessing the birth of new life or perhaps the awakening of dormant desires. Blake's romanticist style shines through in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of human emotions and relationships. His use of color adds depth to the composition, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports us into another world. This artwork invites contemplation on themes such as love, innocence, and self-discovery. It serves as a reminder that even in our most vulnerable moments, there is beauty to be found. Through his poetic imagery, Blake encourages us to embrace our own astonishment at the mysteries of life. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their Paul Mellon Collection, this print continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message. Its presence reminds us that art has the power to ignite our imaginations and connect us deeply with ourselves and others.
