"Nebuchadnezzar."
William Blake, 1805.
Blake emphasizes in every possible way the transition of man into an animal state. The muscular body of the hero clearly indicates that this is not a beast, but a formerly great man. But the torso is covered with hair, more like bare muscles, and the nails on the hands and feet turn into claws.
Nebuchadnezzar's human eyes attract the viewer's attention most of all: he looks downward, and his face is distorted with shock and disgust.
