Description
William Blake's Universe explores the artist's complex relationship with Europe against a backdrop of turmoil. In response to revolution and war in Europe, enslavement and exploitation in European colonies, and repression at home in Britain, Blake produced an extraordinary body of work that combined criticism of the contemporary world with a vision for universal redemption. This richly illustrated book draws parallels with the ambitions of his artist contemporaries in Europe, particularly Philipp Otto Runge. By examining the vital ingredients of Blake's work, the editors and contributors reveal that he was not alone in looking to art as a means to build a new world in the face of shattering political crises. Published alongside an exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, William Blake's Universe offers a fresh perspective on this fascinating artist.
