"Illustrations of the Book of Job" is a series of twenty-two engraved prints (published in 1826) by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake. This work, considered one of his masterpieces in the medium of engraving, was Blake's last completed prophetic book, and it represents the culmination of his engagement with the biblical Book of Job, a subject that had occupied him over a considerable period of his artistic career.

The series of illustrations is notable for its exploration of themes such as innocence, suffering, and redemption, which are central to the narrative of the Book of Job, where Job, a prosperous and pious man, is subjected to severe trials by Satan to test his faith. Blake's work is characterized by its complex interplay of text and image, and his unique style, which combines elements of Gothic art with the emerging Romantic sensibility of his time.

Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job were produced through a commission from his patron John Linnell, and they reflect Blake's deep engagement with the theological and philosophical questions posed by the biblical text. The engravings are rich in symbolism and allegory, drawing on Blake's own mythological and visionary universe, as well as his interpretations of Christian eschatology.

The series was not widely known during Blake's lifetime but has since been recognized as one of his most significant contributions to the visual arts and as an important part of the Romantic movement in England. The Illustrations of the Book of Job have been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis and have influenced a wide range of artists and writers in the centuries following their creation. The original engravings are held in various collections, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In creating the Illustrations of the Book of Job, Blake employed a technique known as relief etching, which he had developed earlier in his career. This allowed him to create both text and image on the same plate, resulting in a highly integrated and expressive work of art. The Illustrations of the Book of Job stand as a testament to Blake's artistic vision and his profound understanding of the human condition as reflected in the biblical narrative.
