Artist William Blake (1757‑1827) Title The River of Life Date c.1805 MediumInk and watercolour on paper Dimensionsimage: 305 x 336 mm support: 442 x 432 mm Collection Tate Britain Acquisition Bequeathed by W. Graham Robertson 1949 This work illustrates lines from the Book of Revelation. The River of Life flows from the throne of God to the Tree of Life. It is also a rare example of how Blake presented his watercolours: he drew the washline border between ruled ink lines. The yellow tone of the paper is the result of over-exposure to light. This caused some of the original blue paint (indigo perhaps) to fade; the fuzzy band of Prussian blue on the lower edge, and spots of the same colour in the river, were added later by someone trying to ‘correct’ this fading. |
