"Illustrations of the Book of Job" is a series of twenty-two engraved prints by English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake. Created in 1826, these works are considered to be his last completed prophetic book, and they represent a culmination of his lifelong engagement with the themes of innocence, suffering, and redemption as depicted in the biblical Book of Job. The series was Blake's grandest treatment of the subject, a project that had occupied him for over two decades, during which he produced several other paintings and drawings based on the same biblical story.

The illustrations are notable for their integration of text and image, with each plate inscribed with verses from the Book of Job, rendered in a script that Blake designed himself. This combination of visual and textual narrative reflects Blake's innovative approach to book design and his desire to create a total artistic experience. The engravings are characterized by their dramatic use of line and strong spiritual and moral themes, which are central to Blake's body of work.

Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job were commissioned by his patron John Linnell, and the artist worked on them from 1823 to 1826. The engravings were produced in a limited run, with only 315 sets being made, making them some of the rarest and most sought-after of Blake's works. The series has been highly influential in the history of art and literature, inspiring subsequent generations of artists and writers with its visionary quality and profound engagement with the human condition.

The Illustrations of the Book of Job are considered by many to be among Blake's greatest masterpieces, showcasing his unique artistic style that combines his deep spirituality with his radical views on society and the nature of human existence. The works are held in high esteem for their technical brilliance and for the depth of their emotional and intellectual exploration of the themes of faith, endurance, and the vindication of good over evil.
