Satan Going Forth from the Presence of the Lord

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This image features ethereal figures and symbolic representations. In the center, a robed figure with a halo sits on a pedestal, surrounded by adoring figures. Below, a scene shows a robed figure conversing with an elderly figure, with an animal nearby. Angelic beings stand on either side. Intricate designs frame the composition, including snake-like motifs. Textual elements provide context to the scenes depicted.
