William Blake's Gorgeous Art





William Blake was one of the most inspirational poets of all time. To be exact, a British poet in the romanticism era between the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. These types of poets where limited, yet some of the most influential people ever to exist during life’s growing existence. The famous romantic poet William Blake was not only known for his poetry, but also for his amazing art talents. William Blake’s work both artwork and poetry was based on biblical references. Blake would mainly draw scenes of the supernatural world using, angels, demons, and god as inspiration to his main points. One of his most known poems named, “The Lamb” was a large relation to Jesus, as in the bible. This poem has a resemblance largely to Jesus, however, just worded differently.  William Blake was a romantic poet meaning he did not view science as a main point to life. Instead, Blake viewed nature as the most sublime topic to all of his work, and to all his thoughts. As nature, William Blake saw the supernatural world as the most powering, and inspiring thing on earth.  This showed in his writing but more in his drawings.
On this video, there are many pictures of Blake’s vision on the supernatural world. He is one of the most religious poets, basing all of his work around God all mighty. His art has a lot of hidden meaning, although it takes time to figure out the meaning and interpret them, it is worth it. Blake had strong feelings about his work, and expressed it quite well. He took his time, until perfection was reached. Blake’s work is still reviewed through work in modern day civilization, and will continue to still be. Even though his art was made from a long time ago, it is still commonly used, and practically up to date. This is because the bible has very little change over the years, however, at the same time, gets revised and stays similar to the original version. Several pieces of William Blake’s are shown throughout this video, and have close ideas to each other. This is why William Blake is one of the most mighty people in culture.
