William Blake (1757-1827) was a poet, painter, and printmaker whose works prefigured the Romantic movement in literature and art. Often considered a visionary, Blake's life in London was marked by a deep engagement with mysticism and an unwavering commitment to social justice, themes which permeate his writings.
