"Job Rebuked by His Friends" is a work by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, created around 1826 as part of a series of illustrations for the Book of Job. This particular piece is one of a set of twenty-two engraved prints that Blake produced, which depict various scenes from the biblical story of Job. The series is considered one of Blake's masterpieces and reflects his complex and unique interpretation of the biblical text, as well as his innovative artistic techniques.

In "Job Rebuked by His Friends," Blake captures the moment from the Book of Job when Job's three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, who initially come to comfort him, end up accusing him of wrongdoing and arguing that his suffering must be a punishment for sin. Blake's illustration is rich with symbolic elements and portrays the emotional intensity of the scene, with Job depicted in a state of despair while his friends assert their misguided understanding of divine justice.

The work is part of Blake's exploration of themes such as innocence, experience, and the nature of divine justice, which are recurrent throughout his artistic and poetic oeuvre. The series of Job illustrations was commissioned by Blake's patron John Linnell, and they represent the culmination of Blake's lifelong engagement with the spiritual and visionary.

"Job Rebuked by His Friends" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for the way it reflects Blake's personal theology and philosophy. Unlike traditional interpretations of the Book of Job, Blake's approach emphasizes the unjust suffering of Job and critiques the self-righteousness of his friends. The piece, along with the entire series, is noted for its expressive line work and use of shading, which contribute to the dramatic effect of the narrative.

The original engravings are held in various collections, including the British Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum. "Job Rebuked by His Friends" remains an important work for scholars of Blake's art and for those interested in the intersection of visual art and religious literature.
