1757-1827 British William Blake Galleries William Blake started writing poems as a boy, many of them inspired by religious visions. Apprenticed to an engraver as a young man, Blake learned skills that allowed him to put his poems and drawings together on etchings, and he began to publish his own work. Throughout his life he survived on small commissions, never gaining much attention from the London art world. His paintings were rejected by the public (he was called a lunatic for his imaginative work), but he had a profound influence on Romanticism as a literary movement.   Related Paintings of William Blake :. | The cottage in Felpham where Blake lived from 1800 till 1803. | A William Blake reproduction, photographed in our studio | Los Entering the Grave | The Fall of Man (mk22) | Four and Twenty Elders Casting their Crowns before the Divine Throne |
