"And God Blessed the Seventh Day and Sanctified It" is a watercolor illustration by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, created as part of a series commissioned by Thomas Butts, Blake's patron. The artwork, which dates back to circa 1805, is one of a number of pieces Blake produced to illustrate biblical themes, specifically scenes from the Book of Genesis. This particular piece depicts the moment described in Genesis 2:3, where God, having completed the creation of the world in six days, rests on the seventh day and blesses it, setting it apart as a day of rest and holiness.

The illustration is executed in Blake's distinctive style, combining his idiosyncratic symbolism with a rich and expressive use of color. It reflects Blake's deep engagement with theological and mystical themes, as well as his innovative approach to visual representation. The work is part of a larger body of Blake's biblical illustrations that explore the relationship between the divine, the human, and the natural world, and it is representative of his lifelong interest in the spiritual and visionary aspects of art.

As with many of Blake's works, "And God Blessed the Seventh Day and Sanctified It" is not only a visual depiction of a scriptural moment but also an embodiment of the artist's complex personal mythology. Blake's illustrations often contain layers of meaning, with allegorical and esoteric references that invite contemplation and interpretation. The artwork is held in high regard for its intricate detail, symbolic depth, and the way it captures the essence of Blake's unique artistic and spiritual vision.

The piece is part of the extensive collection of Blake's work that can be found in various institutions and collections around the world, contributing to the understanding of his contribution to the Romantic movement and the history of Western art. As with many of Blake's illustrations, it continues to be studied by scholars and enjoyed by admirers of his work for its beauty and profound symbolism.
