William Blake (1757–1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker who remains an enigmatic figure in the history of the arts. Predominantly unrecognized during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. Inspired by visions seen from a young age, Blake’s work encompasses a highly original combination of poetry, visual arts, and mysticism. Noted for his expressiveness and creativity, Blake’s work engages themes of revolutionary spirit, human existence, and the critique of institutional religion and morality. His prophetic works, such as ‘All Religions Are One’ and ‘There Is No Natural Religion’, emphasize his views of universal spiritual brotherhood. Blake’s idiosyncratic views and symbolism compiled in texts like ‘Songs of Innocence and of Experience’ and his epic prophetic poems including ‘Milton a Poem’ and ‘Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion’ further demonstrate his literary and artistic genius. Blake’s influence can be seen in various literary movements and he continues to inspire modern artists and writers. His work invites scholars and readers to explore profound philosophical and existential questions, and his vision remains a potent reminder of the power of imagination and artistry.
