Print of the Day: "Behemoth and Leviathan", by birthday boy William Blake, ca. 1805. The work is from a series of 22 engraved prints he did illustrating the biblical Book of Job: https://buff.ly/2zN0gx1 (And see also an uncoloured version here: https://buff.ly/2zLMUkI)
I gave this one as an art reference to an artist for a project:

Behold now Behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
ReplyDeleteLo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
Job 40:15-18
Um, I'd be all for it
Unholy Land has an encounter with Behemoth in the form of an Apatosaurus. People are following it quoting that passage from Job.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been wanting this since I learned about Blake’s Orc.
