Two Flaming Figures
- Title
- Two Flaming Figures
- Student Commentary:
- Two muscular males are the center of this plate from Milton (1967 facsimile). Both are clothed only in loincloths. In front of a radiant sun, and seeming larger than life, is the figure of Blake’s mythological figure of poetic energy and imagination, Los. His arms are bent at the elbows and his palms face upwards, while his face is turned downwards. Crouching in front of him is a figure who appears to look up at Los in awe.
