William Blake
William Blake, born in London in 1757, was an English poet, painter and printmaker. A visionary artist, Blake's work combines literature and visual art in unique ways. His early career as an engraver greatly influenced his artistic style. Blake is best known for his illuminated books, including "Songs of Innocence and of Experience" and "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." His distinctive use of vibrant color and intricate detail in etchings and watercolors set him apart. Despite being largely unrecognized in his lifetime, Blake's work is now celebrated and housed in collections such as the British Museum and the Tate Gallery. He died in 1827, leaving a lasting impact on both art and literature. Read more about Arts.
