- Description
- In the drawing of the Canterbury Pilgrims, Blake's antithetical method, employing ironic juxtaposition and counterpoint, invites the viewer to participate in the exercise of the Divine Vision of forgiveness by distinguishing "States from Individuals in those States." The journey of the Pilgrims becomes metaphoric of a continuous dynamic progression.
