William Blake Masterpieces of Art

William Blake Masterpieces of Art

by Michael Kerrigan (Author), Michael Kerrigan (Author)

Synopsis

Rich and delicate, ethereal and muscular, the art of William Blake is as fascinating as the philosophies threading through his poetry and prophetic works. Presented here in this magnificent new collection, his vivid paintings and gently weaving illustrations are imprinted in the consciousness of Romantic art, but their impact on Gothic literature remains as strong and quixotic as the artist himself.
