Pity

Artist: William Blake (English, 1757–1827)

Date: c. 1795

Medium: Colour print, ink and watercolour on paper

Collection: TATE Britain

Description

This picture is based on the playwright William Shakespeare’s imagery in Macbeth. The play describes: ‘pity, like a naked newborn babe / Striding the blast, or heaven’s cherubin horsed / Upon the sightless couriers of the air, / Shall blow the horrid deed in ev’ry eye’. Blake’s visualisation of ‘pity’ takes Shakespeare’s words literally. Underneath the floating figures representing ‘pity’, Blake has included a young woman lying on the ground, her hands clasped as though in prayer. She may represent the infant’s mother, or someone influenced by pity.
