"The Blasphemer"[1] (1800) is a watercolour design by William Blake.
It illustrates lines from Leviticus in the Old Testament and shows an Israelite man being stoned for blasphemy. It was part of a group of 135 drawings and paintings of biblical subjects by Blake, commissioned by his patron Thomas Butts.
