The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun

One of four watercolors Blake did illustrating the Great Dragon of Revelation, this piece shows the beast in thunderous conflict with a woman who represents the forces of good. Despite the wrack and ruin imposed by their conflict, the two figures almost appear to be reaching out to one another. Blake's complicated view of good and evil can be summed up in the following quote: "I do not consider either the just, or the wicked, to be in a supreme state..." And indeed the monster's flood will drain off and it will flood will drain off and it will fly away to bedevil mankind again, depriving either side of a final victory.
