Biography of William Blake

William Blake was born on November 28, 1757, in London. As a poet and painter, engraver, and inventor of relief etching, William Blake possessed a gift that became a burden. Even as a small child, he had mystical visions of God and angels. His parents were suspicious of his stories and recognized that their son was different from other children, so they chose to educate him at home.

At just 10 years old, William Blake knew he wanted to become an artist. However, the drawing school was too expensive, and his parents sent him to the engraver James Basire, where he began as an apprentice. He drew the trenches in Westminster Abbey. The Gothic style inspired him and was always evident in his works. After completing his apprenticeship, Blake worked as an independent engraver.

In 1779, Blake was admitted to the Royal Academy of Arts. He aspired to become a history painter. However, the academy's president disapproved of his works and did not support him further, leading him to soon end his studies.

Blake's works are spiritual and influenced by his visions. He drew inspiration from the Bible and was always on a religious quest. Blake also wrote poems, which he then illustrated. One of his most famous books was published in 1789 and was called "Songs of Innocence and Experience." One of the most well-known poems in the book is "The Tyger."

Among his most significant illustrations are the works for the "Book of Job" (21 etched plates, 1824) and Dante's "Divine Comedy" (1826). His works include: "The Ancient of Days," "The Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun," "The Body of Abel Found by Adam & Eve."

From 1800 to 1803, Blake lived in the coastal town of Felpham, where he received support during a difficult financial period from the poet William Hayley. He then moved back to London with his wife, where he spent the rest of his life. In 1784, he even founded a printing shop where he worked throughout his life. As a simple engraver and book illustrator, he remained unknown and penniless during his lifetime. However, he found fulfillment in art and lived very happily, not least due to the loyal support of his wife. He was a stubborn individual who called himself a medium of spirits.

William Blake died in 1827. His works were not popular during his lifetime because they were different, mystical, and shaped by visions. It was not until the mid-19th century that the so-called Pre-Raphaelite artists admired his works, and William Blake became one of the most important figures in British art.
