Cartão William Blake Jacob’s Ladder Note Card

William Blake Jacob’s Ladder note card. Pencil and watercolor from 1806. English poet and artist William Blake devoted a considerable amount of his work to illustrating the Bible. Jacob’s Ladder depicts the dream of the biblical patriarch Jacob in which he perceived a ladder of angels climbing towards heaven. Blake illustrates the scene with a spiral staircase rising from the head of Jacob, passed the star filled night sky, toward the brightly illumined sun of heaven. Blakes angels carry pitchers, bowls, scrolls and even small children. A beautiful gift for fans of William Blake, Bible illustrations, and English art.
