William Blake:Some of his most prominent artwork

William Blake is someone I have covered before but I can't remember where exactly. This is some of Blake's most prominent work during the Romantic movement and that had a role in it.
The Wood of Self-Murder: The Harpies and the Suicides:
A rather surreal image that at first glance doesn't look like it belongs in the romantic movement. But then you analyse it and see how imaginative the painting is.

Sconfitta:
Here the figure of 'the creator' is seen kneeling before the world he has created. The idea of creation is brought up in allot of Blake's work.


The Lovers Whirlwind:
A painting Blake created for the world famous, The Divine Comedy, which follows Dante Alighieri's descent through hell to save his loved one. This image once again features hell. A recurring theme of heaven and hell is dominant in Blake's work. All due to his imagination in the romantic movement.
