Satan Smiting Job with Boils

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a figure standing in the center with outstretched arms, holding lightning bolts in one hand. To the left, a person sits on the ground with their face covered by hands, while another figure lies on the ground. In the background, there are dramatic clouds, a setting sun, and a distant landscape with a structure. The scene is framed by decorative elements and inscriptions alluding to the biblical story of Job. Below the central image are additional decorations.
