"Christ's troubled sleep from Milton's 'Paradise Regained', Book IV lines 401-25, c.1816-18" is a work by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, who is renowned for his expressive and symbolic art as well as his visionary poetry. This particular piece is an illustration that accompanies Blake's own edition of John Milton's "Paradise Regained," a poem that focuses on the temptation of Christ by Satan. The illustration is one of a series that Blake produced to embellish the narrative of Milton's work, which he held in high regard.

Created during the period of 1816 to 1818, the artwork is part of Blake's later body of work, which is characterized by a mature style that combines his poetic, philosophical, and artistic sensibilities. The image depicts a scene from Book IV of "Paradise Regained," where Christ, after a day of being tempted, experiences a troubled sleep. This scene is significant as it reflects the human vulnerability of Christ and the psychological turmoil he endures during his trials in the wilderness.

Blake's illustration is notable for its intricate detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity conveyed through Christ's posture and expression. The work is emblematic of Blake's deep engagement with theological and spiritual themes, and his unique approach to illustrating literary texts. His visual interpretation of Milton's epic not only serves to complement the poem but also adds a layer of interpretive depth, inviting viewers to consider the complex interplay between good and evil, and the inner struggles of the divine and human natures of Christ.

As with many of Blake's works, "Christ's troubled sleep" is a testament to his innovative techniques in printmaking and his ability to infuse his art with profound intellectual and spiritual significance. The piece is held in esteem by scholars and art enthusiasts alike for its contribution to the visual arts of the Romantic period and its enduring impact on the interpretation of Milton's literary masterpiece.
