God Blessing the Seventh Day
- Title
- God Blessing the Seventh Day
- Student Commentary:
- This plate from Blake’s Illustrations to the Bible (1957 facsimile) represents God blessing the seventh day, which is a day for rest. Blake’s image, however, seems anything but restful. A vibrant yellow sunburst full of energy surrounds a soft blue and lavender circle which contains God and other figures looking out. The image utilizes only two main colors to create a dynamic effect. Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
