William Blake (1757-1827) was one of the most gifted and influential of all Romantic artists. Blake's paintings, prints and poetry evoke a private world of religious, mythic and philosophical themes of searing originality. The two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his birth will be widely commemorated in 2007.
This display will feature all of our works associated with Blake, including his outstanding watercolour depicting God Writing upon the Tables of the Covenant (1805) and prints he made for Blair's The Grave (1813) and The Book of Job (1825).
