Job’s Evil Dreams

This work is a contemporary, AI-assisted colour interpretation of William Blake's historic engraving, 'Job's Evil Dreams'. The Surrealium atelier has brought new life to the monochrome original, developing a visionary, tempera-like palette of luminous gold, lapis blue, translucent rose, and flame orange. This edition is not a historical restoration, but a new artistic exploration of Blake's powerful composition.

The scene depicts Job tormented in his sleep, a central theme from the artist's 'Illustrations of the Book of Job'. Monstrous figures and a haunting divine presence fill the space around him, capturing the terrifying power of a dream state. The newly introduced colours heighten the drama and mystical quality of the composition, making it a compelling piece for any collection focused on dreamlike or visionary art.

This exclusive Surrealium edition is available to all as an archival fine-art print or gallery-wrapped canvas. For collectors with an active Fable subscription, further customisation of the work is possible. It is a striking addition to a library, study, or a gallery wall dedicated to the masters of Romanticism.

The original plate was created by the British poet and artist William Blake between 1825 and 1826. This edition is printed to order on matte, museum-grade paper using archival pigment inks to ensure its longevity. Each Atelier Edition work is interpreted by Surrealium at Kastellet, our studio in a 17th-century sea fortress in the Stockholm archipelago.
