William Blake (1757–1827) was a visionary English artist, poet, and printmaker, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures of the Romantic art movement. Born in London’s Soho district, he showed artistic talent from a young age and studied under leading engravers and artists of his time.
Despite his working-class background, at 22, he was accepted into the Royal Academy Schools. Deeply spiritual, he drew inspiration from his family’s strong religious beliefs, an unmistakable influence in his mystical and biblical paintings.
William Blake’s imaginative and symbolic style left a lasting impact on later movements, particularly the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. His paintings influenced renowned figures such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti and 20th Century musicians Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.
In recognition of his cultural importance, Blake was ranked 38th in the “100 Greatest Britons” poll in 2002. Though unconventional, he was admired by both peers and critics during his lifetime.
Blake is closely associated with the Romantic and Symbolism art movements, creating paintings that blend imagination, spirituality, and emotion. Some of his most celebrated paintings include:
