"Death's Door" is a work by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, created as part of a series of illustrations for the 1790 edition of Edward Young's poem "Night Thoughts." Blake's series for "Night Thoughts" consists of more than 500 watercolor designs, of which "Death's Door" is one of the most recognized. The image is part of Blake's exploration of profound themes such as mortality, the afterlife, and the human soul's journey.

The artwork depicts a scene in which a skeletal figure, representing Death, is seen pushing open a massive door. This door symbolizes the threshold between life and the afterlife. A reclining old man is shown being assisted by an angelic figure towards the light that emanates from the door, suggesting the transition from the mortal realm to the eternal. The composition is rich with symbolism and reflects Blake's mystical vision and his views on the interconnectedness of life and death.

"Death's Door" is executed in Blake's distinctive style, combining strong outlines with dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The work showcases Blake's mastery of relief etching, a technique he developed and referred to as "Illuminated Printing." This method allowed Blake to create both text and images in a single print, giving him unprecedented control over the unity of his visual and poetic ideas.

The piece has been widely analyzed for its artistic and symbolic significance and is considered one of Blake's most powerful representations of the theme of death. It has been reproduced in various forms and continues to be studied for its theological, philosophical, and artistic implications. "Death's Door" remains an iconic example of Blake's visionary artistry and his contribution to Romantic literature and visual culture.
