"Death of the Strong Wicked Man" (also known as "The Strong Wicked Man Dying") is a visual artwork by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, created circa 1805. This piece is part of a series of watercolor illustrations that Blake produced, which explore themes of morality, spirituality, and the human condition. The artwork reflects Blake's unique visionary style and his deep engagement with biblical and mythological subject matter.

The image depicts the moment of death for a figure that Blake characterizes as a "strong wicked man." In keeping with Blake's symbolic and often enigmatic approach, the work is rich with allegorical significance and can be interpreted on multiple levels. The strong wicked man, a recurring motif in Blake's oeuvre, may represent tyrannical power, moral corruption, or the materialistic individual who is spiritually impoverished. The moment of death serves as a dramatic confrontation between the earthly and the divine, a theme that pervades much of Blake's work.

Blake's technique in this piece, as in many of his watercolors, involves a combination of pen and ink with watercolor washes, allowing for a dynamic interplay of line and color. The artwork's composition and use of contrasting light and dark elements underscore the dramatic tension of the scene. "Death of the Strong Wicked Man" is emblematic of Blake's broader artistic and philosophical concerns, particularly his belief in the transformative potential of the human soul and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

As with many of Blake's works, "Death of the Strong Wicked Man" has been subject to various interpretations by scholars and critics, who often seek to understand it within the broader context of Blake's mythopoeic universe and his idiosyncratic system of symbols. The artwork is held in high regard for its expressive power and its capacity to evoke profound existential and spiritual reflections.

"Death of the Strong Wicked Man" is part of the collections of the Tate Britain, which houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Blake's work. The piece continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its place within the canon of British Romantic art.
