Satan Before the Throne of God

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring an assembly of figures and an enthroned figure. The central portion shows a bearded figure seated within a radiant oval, surrounded by flowing figures. Below, another group of figures is seated around a table. The artwork includes text above and below the central image, evoking biblical or religious themes. Intricate patterns and flowing lines give the piece a transcendental quality.
