It supposedly depicts 'God' as an architect. Some of his other paintings were even crazier.

 

That's Urizen from Blake's poems. Evil god. Blake's view of certain bits of the OT god - the god the priests, as opposed to the prophets, liked. The tyranny of reason and moral law. It's also an etching, rather than a painting - though paints involved. I have a big canvas of that on the wall in the hoose to remnid me never to be too logical.

Wow! I didn't realise it was an etching. That makes it pretty special. I've done a lot of etchings myself and know how difficult it is. What's the story then? Was it done by applying paint to the etching sheet before printing or was an etching print that was worked over with paints? What size is it?
