Satan Smiting Job with Boils

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is an image featuring a central standing figure with outstretched arms in a dynamic background. The central figure is dominated by a muscular figure holding draped fabric. The central figure stands on elevated terrain, with swirling clouds and dramatic lighting in the sky behind. Flanking the central figure are two other figures in contemplative poses. In the background, there is a faintly visible architectural structure on the horizon. The use of shadow and light captures a moment of tension and movement.
