Jerusalem (1804-20), his third major epic treating the fall and redemption of humanity, is his most richly decorated book. His other major works include The Four Zoas (1795-1804) and Milton (1804-08). A late series of 22 watercolours inspired by the Book of Job includes some of his best-known pictures.
