“The Fool who persists in his folly will become Wise”
William Blake (1757-1827), British painter, printmaker and poet.
Recognized as a Romantic painter, preferring watercolour and lithography upon oil painting, he will provide an important work of poetry. His subjects, however very classic and religious, are transcended by his style, hallucinated and tinted of a striking modernity.
Beyond his avant-garde ideas, he was long believed mad by his contemporaries, because he was persuaded to receive messages via visions, since his earliest childhood.
