"Reading about artist, satirist and writer William Blake (1757-1827) and you certainly come away thinking he was a renaissance man. He was a contemporary of a lot of famous London writers but only he painted or etched as well, the latter being his formal training. Much of his art was in fantasy, hence my interest in Michael Kerrigans book, William Blake, part of Flame Trees Masterpieces Of Art books. The first 27 pages outline his history and the 101 pages after devoted to his art in 4 sections Gothic, Prophetic & Mythological, Biblical and Visionary making it an ideal artbook." -- sfcrowsnest
