"The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun" is a watercolor painting by the English poet and artist William Blake, created circa 1805. It is part of a series of illustrations that Blake painted to accompany the Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, the final book of the New Testament. The series, known as the "Great Red Dragon Paintings," includes several works that depict various scenes involving the Great Red Dragon, an embodiment of Satan or the Devil.

This particular painting illustrates a scene from Revelation 12:1-4, where a woman "clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars" is threatened by a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns. The woman represents both the Church and the Virgin Mary, with the sun symbolizing God's glory and the moon reflecting the Church's domain over the temporal world. The dragon stands for evil and is poised to devour the woman's child, who is prophesied to rule all nations with an iron rod.

Blake's work is renowned for its intricate symbolism and dramatic imagery, reflecting his mystical and visionary approach to art and spirituality. The painting is characterized by its vibrant colors, dynamic composition, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The muscular form of the dragon contrasts with the serene and maternal figure of the woman, creating a powerful visual representation of the cosmic struggle between good and evil.

"The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun" is held in high esteem for its artistic and literary significance, as it exemplifies Blake's unique style and his deep engagement with biblical themes. The painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its profound allegorical content and its place within the broader context of Blake's oeuvre and Romantic art.
