Colinet rust tijdens de nacht

A small-scale wood engraving characterized by intense, rhythmic white lines against a dark background. The scene depicts a quiet pastoral landscape with a winding river and distant hills shrouded in darkness. The shepherd is tucked into the right foreground, blending into the shadow of overhanging foliage.

Created for Robert Thornton's edition of Virgil, these prints were revolutionary for their expressive, non-naturalistic style. In Blake’s esoteric system, such pastoral landscapes often represent 'Beulah,' a visionary state of rest and subconscious transition between the material and the divine.
