  • A Vision of the Last Judgment is a painting by William Blake that was designed in 1808 before becoming a lost artwork. Earlier designs for the painting that depicted the Last Judgment survived. The painting was to be shown in an 1810 exhibition with a detailed analysis added to a second edition of his Descriptive Catalogue. This plan was dropped after the exhibition was cancelled, and the painting disappeared. Blake's notes for the Descriptive Catalogue describe various aspects of the work in a detailed manner. Additionally, earlier versions of the design survived, dating back to an 1805 precursor design created for Robert Blair's The Grave. Like Blake's notes on the painting, a letter written to Ozias Humphry provides a description of the various images within an earlier design of the Last Judgment.
