3. William Blake was an english painter , poet and
printmaker. Largely unrecognized during his
lifetime. Blake is now recognized as a seminal
figure in the history of poetry and visual arts of
Romantic Age. His prophetic poetry has been said
to form “what is in proportion to its merits the
least read body of poetry in the English
Language.” His visual artistry led one
contemporary art critic to proclaim him “far and
away the greatest artist Britain has ever
produced “.

4. • In 2002 ,Blake was placed at number 38 in the BBC’S
poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Although he lived in
london his entire life ,he produced a diverse and
symbolically rich oeuvre, which embraced the
imagination as “the body of God” or “human existence
itself”.
