Romanticismfairy painting

William Blake was an English poet, painter and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake has become a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age. What he called his "prophetic works" were said by the 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the [English] language". While he lived in London his entire life, except for three years spent in Felpham, he produced a diverse and symbolically rich collection of works, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God", or "human existence itself".

The Last Supper

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The First Supper (1988) is a work of art by Susan Dorothea White, based on Leonardo da Vinci's 1490s painting The Last Supper. White's painting is acrylic on a large wood panel (1.2 x 2.4 m) and, in a challenge to the patriarchal concept of thirteen men on one side of a table, shows 13 women from all regions of the world; in the position of Leonardo's Christ figure is an Aboriginal Australian woman wearing a T-shirt with the Australian Aboriginal flag. One woman seen is in the position of Judas.

Matthew Robert Blake (January 8, 1876, November 21, 1937) was a Canadian politician and soldier. Matthew Robert Blake was born on January 8, 1876, in Ashfield, Ontario, Canada. He attended public schools in Belfast and Goderich District Collegiate Institute.

Job and His Daughters

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job primarily refers to a series of twenty-two engraved prints (published 1826) by Blake illustrating the biblical Book of Job. It also refers to two earlier sets of watercolours by Blake on the same subject (1806 and 1821). The engraved Illustrations are considered to be Blake's greatest masterpieces in the medium of engraving, and were also a rare commercial and critical success for Blake.
