William Blake born #OTD 1757. Artist, poet and, despite being unheralded during his lifetime, hugely influential - if you want a sense of how much, read @philiphoare.bsky.social recent Sea Monsters of Love. You can check out one of my favourite Blakes here: www.dailyartmagazine.com/ancient-days...
Masterpiece Story: The Ancient of Days by William Blake
The Ancient of Days, designed, printed and hand coloured by William Blake in 1794 is one of the best examples of his unique artistic style.

Such a small amount for such an iconic Newly painting! Please support if you can
For many years, Walter Langley’s Cornish Fisherfolk has been on long-term loan to us. Now, this treasured painting is due to be sold, but we’ve been given an opportunity to acquire it by private treaty before it goes to auction.
