Summary:
An English poet and artist, William Blake earned his living as an engraver and illustrator of books. His artistic work was concerned primarily with describing and interpreting visions he claimed to have had. Among his notable etchings were "The Day of Judgement," "Jerusalem and the Old Testament," and the "Book of Job." One poetic series, the "Prophetic Books," describes a new system of Christianity revealed to him in his visions. Although Blake died in obscurity and poverty, time has brought a heightened appreciation of both his poetry and graphic art.
