About William Blake

British · 1757–1827

William Blake was born in London in 1757 and trained as an engraver with James Basire from 1772 to 1779. He then entered the Royal Academy Schools, developing an artistic life that joined image-making with poetry. The practical skills of engraving remained important, giving his imaginative work a foundation in the patient labour of designing and making a printed page.

Blake experimented with relief etching and used it for the illuminated books associated with his poetry. Biblical and literary subjects also supplied figures and stories for his paintings and designs. His art gives thought an unusually physical presence, using the turn of a body or the direction of an arm to make an imagined encounter feel immediate and emotionally clear.
