b"Amajor figure of the Romantic Movement, the British artist William Blake (1757-1827) was at\nonce a painter, designer, engraver and poet. He devoted himself to the illustration of his\nliterary works, and his texts developed following the lines of his engravings and fantastic drawings,\nbecoming veritable illuminated manuscripts. Inspired by biblical and prophetical themes (Proverbs\nof Hell, The Everlasting Gospel and The Gates of Paradise), Blake's art subtly combines the modernity\nof his time and of the Romantic Revolution with the classicism of the themes that he explored.\nGifted with unequalled imagination and originality, the artist played with the diversity of his\nmedia in order to better externalise the demons that haunted him, as well as to plunge the viewer\nor reader into a profound melancholy. In this monograph, Osbert Burdett sheds light on the art\nand life of this extraordinary artist."
