Newton is a monotype by the English poet, painter and printmaker William Blake first completed in 1795, but reworked and reprinted in 1805. It is one of the 12 "Large Colour Prints" or "Large Colour Printed Drawings" created between 1795 and 1805, which also include his series of images on the biblical ruler Nebuchadnezzar. Newton was incorporated into Blake's infernal trinity along with the philosophers Francis Bacon and John Locke.

  • Newton – monotypia wykończona akwarelą i tusz z 1795 roku autorstwa angielskiego poety, malarza i grafika Williama Blake’a. Naga postać o nadmiernej muskulaturze ciała ukazana jest na dnie morza, w chwili gdy kreśli za pomocą cyrkla figury geometryczne. Jest to odniesienie do i ograniczonego tworzenia. Uosabia niszczącą siłę męskiego pierwiastka rozumu i jest inspirowana freskami Michała Anioła w Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej. (pl)
  • Newton è un monotipo di William Blake risalente al 1795, anche se venne riprodotto e ristampato nel 1805. È attualmente custodito alla Tate Gallery di Londra. (it)

  • Newton is a monotype by the English poet, painter and printmaker William Blake first completed in 1795, but reworked and reprinted in 1805. It is one of the 12 "Large Colour Prints" or "Large Colour Printed Drawings" created between 1795 and 1805, which also include his series of images on the biblical ruler Nebuchadnezzar. Isaac Newton is shown sitting naked and crouched on a rocky outcropping covered with algae, apparently at the bottom of the sea. His attention is focused upon diagrams he draws with a compass upon a scroll. The compass is a smaller version of that held by Urizen in Blake's The Ancient of Days. Blake's opposition to the Enlightenment was deeply rooted. In his annotation to his own engraving of the classical character Laocoön, Blake wrote "Art is the Tree of Life. Science is the Tree of Death." Newton's theory of optics was especially offensive to Blake, who made a clear distinction between the vision of the "vegetative eye" and spiritual vision. The deistic view of God as a distant creator who played no role in daily affairs was anathema to Blake, who claimed to regularly experience visions of a spiritual nature. He contrasts his "four-fold vision" to the "single vision" of Newton, whose "natural religion" of scientific materialism he characterized as sterile. Newton was incorporated into Blake's infernal trinity along with the philosophers Francis Bacon and John Locke. Blake's print would later serve as the basis for Eduardo Paolozzi's 1995 bronze sculpture Newton, after William Blake, which resides in the piazza of the British Library. (en)
