Painting Description
"Tiriel Led By Hela" is a work by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, created in the late 18th century. This piece is part of a larger body of work that Blake produced around the narrative of "Tiriel," which is considered one of his prophetic books, although it was never published during his lifetime. The narrative of "Tiriel" is a dramatic poem that depicts the tragic downfall of a tyrannical king who is struck blind and cast out by his own sons.
In "Tiriel Led By Hela," Blake presents a visual representation of a scene from the "Tiriel" narrative, where the eponymous character is guided by Hela, the daughter of one of his sons. Hela, in Blake's mythology, is not to be confused with the Norse goddess of the dead, Hel, although there may be some symbolic or thematic overlap given Blake's penchant for mythological and allegorical references. The artwork typically features Blake's distinctive style, characterized by strong outlines, bold figures, and an expressive use of color and form.
As with many of Blake's works, "Tiriel Led By Hela" is imbued with complex symbolism and reflects his personal spiritual and philosophical beliefs. Blake's art often challenged the prevailing norms of his time, critiquing societal structures and exploring themes of oppression, liberation, and the human condition. The piece is also notable for its exploration of family dynamics, power, and the consequences of hubris.
The exact date of creation for "Tiriel Led By Hela" is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been produced in the 1780s, around the same time Blake was working on other prophetic books such as "The Book of Thel" and "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." The original artwork's current location is not widely publicized, and it may be held in a private collection or an institution with limited public access.
As a visual accompaniment to one of Blake's lesser-known literary works, "Tiriel Led By Hela" represents an important piece in the puzzle of Blake's artistic and intellectual legacy. It offers insight into his early development as a visionary artist and thinker, whose influence would extend far beyond his lifetime and continue to be felt in the realms of poetry, art, and philosophy.
