Description: English poet, painter, and illustrator William Blake (1757-1827) is usually associated with the Romantic Age but is hard to put on any shelf. Both in his visual arts and his literature, Blake often elaborates motifs from the religious narrative. He did it with the passion and brilliancy of a genius. Even though he was almost unknown in his lifetime, every century that passed held Blake in higher regard. This image is based on his historical self-portrait.
