Curator: Editor: This is William Blake’s engraving, "So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job." It feels…hopeful, in a strange, ethereal way. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It's a redemptive vision, isn't it? Blake, ever the rebel, interprets the biblical Job not as a test of faith, but as a journey toward true vision. Notice how the figures emerge from darkness into light. Does it remind you of something? Editor: Almost like a spiritual awakening? Curator: Precisely. Blake saw the material world as a prison, and art as the key to unlock our divine imagination. It’s a visual poem about overcoming adversity and finding truth within. Editor: I see it now. It's much more than just an illustration. Thanks.
