"Newton" is a monotype print by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, completed in 1795 and currently held in the Tate Collection in London. The work is part of Blake's series of prints depicting personifications of philosophical and scientific figures, which also includes "Nebuchadnezzar" and "The Ancient of Days." The image portrays Sir Isaac Newton, the mathematician and physicist who was a key figure in the scientific revolution, in a manner that reflects Blake's complex views on the Enlightenment and the nature of scientific inquiry.

In the print, Newton is depicted naked and crouched on a rock at the bottom of the sea, his attention fully absorbed by a compass and the geometric shapes he draws, symbolizing his mathematical studies. The portrayal is emblematic of Blake's critique of the rationalism and materialism that he believed characterized Newton's approach to understanding the world. Blake, a proponent of imagination and spirituality, saw Newton's emphasis on reason and the empirical as a limitation that bound the human spirit.

The image of Newton is rendered with fine lines and careful detail, which is characteristic of Blake's printmaking technique. The composition juxtaposes the organic forms of the rock and surrounding environment with the rigid lines of the geometric shapes, further emphasizing the tension between the natural world and the imposed order of science and mathematics.

"Newton" is often interpreted as a representation of Blake's opposition to the reductionist worldview that he associated with Enlightenment thinkers. The work invites viewers to consider the relationship between creativity, rationality, and the divine, themes that are central to Blake's artistic and poetic oeuvre. As a result, "Newton" is not only a significant piece within Blake's body of work but also a thought-provoking commentary on the intellectual currents of his time.
