William Blake's 'Illustrations of the Book of Job' features twenty-two engraved prints, countering into his mastery in the art of Illustration. Driven significantly by the use of Symbolism, each image uniquely narrates a story from the biblical Book of Job.

The series also encompassed two earlier sets of watercolors, thereby providing a comprehensive visual representation of the biblical narrative.
