Painting Description
"America a Prophecy" is a prophetic book by the English poet and illustrator William Blake, first published in 1793. It is part of Blake's larger series of continental prophecies, which also includes "Europe a Prophecy" and "The Song of Los." "America a Prophecy" primarily addresses the American Revolution and is known for its complex symbolism and visionary narrative. The work is composed of 18 plates, with the narrative driven by the character Orc, who symbolizes revolutionary fervor and the potential for transformative change.
The poem begins with the "Angel voice" weeping, which sets a tone of lamentation and foreboding, reflecting the tumultuous period of the American Revolution. Orc's emergence in the narrative is particularly significant as it represents the breaking of oppressive structures and the violent birth of new ideas. Blake's use of Orc, alongside other mythological and biblical references, serves to frame the American struggle for independence within a larger, cosmic battle between oppressive authority and liberating forces.
"America a Prophecy" is notable for its radical political and social commentary, as well as its innovative use of the medium of relief etching, which Blake invented. The work combines text and images to create a unified piece of art that is both a literary and visual experience. This prophetic book remains a critical work for understanding Blake's art and his profound influence on the Romantic movement in literature and the arts.
