Oil Painting The Ancient Of Days From William Blake - Buy Hand Painted Oil Reproduction

The Ancient of Days is the title of a design by William Blake originally published as the frontispiece to a 1794 work Europe a Prophecy. It shows a figure the Ancient of Days crouching in a circular design with a cloud-like background. His out-stretched hand holds a compass over the darker void below. As noted in Gilchrist s Life of William Blake the design was a singular favourite with Blake and as one it was always a happiness to him to copy. As such there are many versions of the work extant including one completed for Frederick Tatham only weeks before Blake s death.The British Museum notes that one copy accessioned in 1885 was excluded from Martin Butlin s 1982 catalogue raisonné of Blake s paintings and drawings suggesting the author doubted that attribution.
