This article presents a revisionist reading of William Blake's (1757-1827) twelve watercolor designs for John Milton's "Paradise Regained" (c. 1816-1820). The designs have previously been dismissed in critical commentary as of little interest to Blake scholarship, or regarded as a narrative merely about Christ's human nature. This article argues that they are also a visual expression of Blake's cosmology; it is proposed that the designs express a positive cosmology, in which Paradise is not so much to be regained, as re-viewed. The article argues that Blake emphasizes Christ's divinity in the designs and that he is depicted as an immanent, sacramental presence in the world; hence, the world that Christ inhabits in the designs is a Paradise. The article begins by outlining its reading of Blake's view of the material world, and moves on to discuss the "Paradise Regained" designs in detail, with a particular focus on The Baptism of Christ, the opening subject of the series, which establishes the positive cosmology presented throughout the series.
