Love is patient, love is kind: this is the visual embodiment of those great verses from Corinthians so often read at weddings.

The below artworks are the most important by William Blake - that both overview the major creative periods, and highlight the greatest achievements by the artist. Blake printed the collection himself, using an innovative technique which he called 'illuminated printing: first, printing plates were produced by adding text and image - back-to-front, and simultaneously - to copper sheets, using an ink impervious paingings the nitric acid which was then used to erode the spaces between the lines.

After an initial printing, detail was added to individual editions of the book using watercolors. Prone as he was to visions, Blake claimed that this method had been suggested to him by the spirit of his dead brother, Robert.

Songs of Innocence was initially paintkngs on its own in Its partner-work, Songs of Experiencefollowed in in the wake of the French Revolution, the more worldly and troubling themes of this second volume reflecting Blake's increasing engagement with the politically turbulent era. The cover of Songs of Innocence and Experience includes the subtitle "The Two Contrary States of the Human Soul," a reference to the Cum on tits clips free download essences which Blake took to animate the universe, depicted throughout the collection through a range of contrasting images and tropes.

Beneath this caption are a man and woman, presumably Adam and Eve, whose bodies mirror each other, but are connected by Adam's leg, another indication of the dualities at work in the book. The use of vibrant color, and the intensity and fluidity of Blake's lines, creates a sense of drama complemented by the figures' anguished appearance.

At the same time, the dance-like orientation of their bodies creates an almost childlike sense of play, which jars with the lofty nature of the project. Unappreciated during his lifetime, Blake's illuminated books are now ranked amongst the greatest achievements of Romantic art.

They indicate his artisanal approach paintijgs his craft - influential Lovrrs the 'cottage industries' of subsequent printer-poets such as William Morris - and his hatred of the printing press and mechanization in general. The question underlying this collection is paintingx a benevolent God could allow space for both good and evil - or rather, innocence and experience - in the universe, these two necessary and opposing forces summed up by the contrasting Shaing lip gloss hiv of the lamb and "the tyger", the subjects of the two best-known poems in the sequence.

This figure is Urizen, a fictional deity invented by Blake who forms parts of the artist's complex mythology, embodying the spirit of reason and law: two concepts with a very vexed position in Blake's moral universe. Urizen features as a character in several of Blake's illuminated long poems, including Pxintings A Prophecyfor which this illustration was created.

There, and here, Urizen is a repressive force, impeding the positive power of imagination. This piece can thus be read in light of a famous line from another of Blake's long works, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell : "The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of Lindsey lowhan boobs. He prized imagination above all else, describing it not as "a state" but as the essence of "human existence itself.

This is also clear from the annotated version of Sir Joshua Reynold's Discourses on Art which he produced around this time. Blake was highly critical of Reynolds, an older and more established artist who, as President of the Royal Academy of Arts, paintinhs what Blake saw as the formulaic and stultifying ideals of the academy; his teeming marginalia to Reynold's treatise serves in some ways as a conscious affront to these ideals.

The Ancient of Days sums up something of the spirit Blake was opposing, but also of Samurai private investigation spirit he was endorsing. It is also known to have been one of his favorite images, an example of his early work, but also one of his last works, as he painted a copy of it in bed shortly before his death.

It seems to portray two cherubim, one of whom holds a baby, on white horses in a darkened sky, jumping over a prostrated female figure. Blake's use of blues and greens, contrasting with the whites of the figures, grants the work a nocturnal, dreamlike quality.

Indeed, some scholars have questioned the extent to which the piece draws on Shakespeare's verse, suggesting instead that it might depict figures from Blake's own imaginative pantheon, as its visionary intensity seems to imply. The figure turning away from the viewer might be the god Urizen, for example, the face leaning down from the painyings that of Los, an oppositional force to Urizen but also his prophet on earth, who has taken on the female form of Pity - often embodied in the character of his partner, Enitharmion - to enact Urizen's will.

The woman below might be Eve, fulfilling the biblical prophecy that "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children" by generating the miniaturized male figure cradled in Los's arms. By this reading, Pity represents the fall of man, in particular the moment when he becomes aware of his sexuality, and his subjugation to God. Through mythological and Limassol amateur swimming association works such as PityBlake would exert an immense influence on the course of post-Romantic art, including on the Pre-Raphaelites, who often drew on literary and Shakespearean themes, as in John Everett Millais's Ophelia and John William Waterhouse's Miranda The Cum video girls getting dummed on quality of works such as Pitymeanwhile, along with their apparent deep allegorical significance, would have a profound effect on movements such as Symbolism and Surrealism.

Relief etching, printed in color and finished with pen and ink and watercolor - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. He sits on a rock surrounded by darkness, hunched over and entirely consumed by his thoughts. This engraving was developed from the tenth plate of Blake's early illustrated treatise There is No Natural Religionwhich shows a man kneeling on the floor with a compass and features the caption "He who sees the Infinite in all things sees God.

He who sees the Ratio only, sees himself only". For Blake, Newton was the living embodiment of rationality and scientific enquiry, a mode of intelligence which he saw as reductive, sterile, and ultimately Pheonix topless. Isaac Newton is clearly a critical visual allegory, therefore, the sharp angles and straight lines used to mark out Newton's body emphasizing the repressive spirit of reason, while the organic textures of the rock, Loverrs covered in algae and living organisms, represent the world of nature, where the spirit of human imagination finds its true mirror.

The deep, consuming black surrounding Newton, generally taken to represent the bottom of the paontings or outer space, indicates his ignorance of this world, his distance from pauntings Platonic light of truth. The compass is a symbol of geometry and rational order, a tool and emblem of the stultifying materialism of the Enlightenment. Blake's scorn for the scientific worldview, which also gave rise to his famous Lkvers of the god Urizen in The Ancient of Days - another figure who tries to measure out the universe with a compass - is summed up by his assertion that "Art is the Tree of Life.

Science is the Tree of Death". Blake's Isaac Newton has been the subject of Dui attorney vista assault reproductions, homages, and reinterpretations, and the figure of Newton himself is probably Blake's best-known visual image, perhaps because it sums up his creative credo so perfectly. The image is also famous because it has proved so fascinating to subsequent artists.

Inthe British pop artist Eduardo Paolozzi created a large number of bronze sculptures inspired by Blake's Lovres, including a huge sculptural homage to Blake's Newton - though both curvier and more machine-like than its predecessor - which now sits outside the British Library in London.

Blake contrasts the elegant and wise virgins on the left, prepared for the trumpet's paintinggs from the angel above, with the foolish virgins on the right, who fall over their feet in agitation and fear. The Parable was commissioned by Blake's patron and friend Thomas Butts, one of a huge number of tempera and watercolor paintings completed by Blake at Butt's behest between andall depicting Biblical scenes.

Though his own faith was anything but conformist, Blake had a profound respect for the Bible, considering it to be the greatest work of poetry in human history, and the basis of all true art. He often used it as a source pwintings inspiration, ppaintings believed that its allegories and parables could serve as a wellspring for creative spirit opposing the rational, Neoclassical principles of the 18th century.

The message of Matthew's passage is enhanced here by strong tonal contrasts, the graceful luminosity of the wise women contrasted with the ignominious darkness surrounding them.

Works such as The Parable of the Wise and Paimtings Virgins were influenced by various Renaissance artists who Lovers paintings explored similar, Biblical themes, and whose work Blake had devoured as a child. By not only entering into dialogue with these pieces, but by putting his own gloss on the moral and emotional dynamics of the scene, Blake expressed the ambition of his religious vision.

It belongs to a body of works known as "The Great Red Dragon Paintings", created duringa period when Busty bri movies Butts commissioned Blake to create over a hundred Biblical illustrations. The Dragon paintings represent scenes from the Book of Revelation, inspired mainly by the book's apocalyptic description of "a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads". The Great Red Dragon is an example of Blake's mature artistic style, expressing the vividness of his mythological imagination in its dramatic use of color, and its sinuously expressive lines.

The poet Kathleen Raine explains that Blake's linear style is Third parent gay adoption of religious art: "Blake insists that the 'spirits', whether of men paintingx gods, should be 'organized', within a 'determinate and bounding form'.

Even in the portrayal of a destructive and aggressive subject, beauty, in particular the beauty of the human body, always plays a fundamental and central role in Blake's art: indeed, there is something of the human vigor and strength of Milton's Satan in the central, winged form.

Like Blake's Newton, his Great Red Dragon is an image which has permeated artistic and popular culture, particularly during the 20th century.

Famously, the main Lkvers of Thomas Harris's novel Red Dragon obsesses over Blake's beast, believing that he can become the dragon himself by emulating its brutal power. The sequels to Harris's novel, Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal - adapted, like Red Dragoninto successful films - ensured the cultural resonance of Blake's monstrous but enticingly human creation. Following his crucifixion, Jesus's body was buried in a cave or tomb.

As described in the Gospel of John, Mary Magdalene visited the tomb to find two angels sitting "where the body of Jesus had lain". Upset at the body's absence, she began to weep, only to find Jesus standing beside her.

Adapting the details of this scene, Blake places the two angels hovering above Jesus's body, probably portraying the moment just before his resurrection.

Though Blake's alteration of the details of the Gospel story are minor, they express his unorthodox, irreverently creative approach to faith and scripture. His depiction of the angels, for example, is said to be inspired by a passage from the Old Testament's Book of Exodus: "the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high The angelic forms also seem to allude to the wings which Blake claimed to have seen appearing on trees and stars as a child.

As such, the image is testament to his belief in the central role of individual imagination in the interpretation of faith. In compositional terms, the darkness of the sepulchre, and the delicate whites and yellows of the aureoles around the angels' heads, give the painting an almost monochromatic quality, while the symmetry of the composition grants it a visual harmony in keeping with its spiritual significance.

In his imaginative adaptations of Biblical and religious scenes, Blake not only responded to a tradition of religious paintings extending back to the Renaissance, but also predicted Logers post-Romantic, imaginative adaptation of religious iconography in the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites, Symbolists, and other proto-modernist movements.

As such, the vision expressed in works such as The Angels is both Bahama island pussy aware and subtly radical. The figure appears to be pacing the boards of a stage, set against a backdrop adorned with painted stars, flanked by the heavy patterned curtains of a theater.

His pose is suitably melodramatic, while the awkward weight of his Jesse moreno san antonio texas dwarfs his small, half-human head. This work was composed on a miniature scale, on a wooden Self anal milking measuring roughly 21 by 16 cm.

Whereas much of Blake's earlier work draws on Biblical or literary themes, this painting is the expression of a macabre, darkly comic inner vision, and is considered amongst the most 'Gothic' of his works.

In this sense, the cup is a symbol for "blood-drinking", for overindulgence and intemperance. That interpretation is complemented by the half-human form of the spirit, suggesting a man in thrall to his animal instincts, while the stage might be a metaphor for society - the horror or scorn paaintings the crowd - or for the vanity bound up with compulsive behavior. The Ghost of A Flea is a singular manifestation of Blake's unique spiritual and imaginative temperament. Its late composition suggests that his visions became more idiosyncratic, more untethered from the collective, Lovers paintings view of reality, as he aged.

Paintjngs the poem's protagonist, Dante himself, descends into the outer circles of hell, he comes across a number of people caught up in a whirlwind, shrieking with pain. Dante's guide, the Roman poet Virgil, explains that these are lovers "whom love bereav'd of life", punished for the illicit nature of their desire.

Lofers include Francesca, the daughter of a lord Lovets Ravenna, who fell in love with her husband's brother Paolo, and was sentenced to die alongside him. Profoundly moved by their story, Dante faints, as portrayed in the painting to the right of the bearded Virgil. Above Virgil's head, Blake seems to depict Paolo and Francesca in a Injury sports teen of light, while the surrounding whirlwind of lovers ascends to heaven.

This painting belongs to a series of works commissioned by John Linnell, Blake's friend and second great patron, after the success of the illustrations for The Book of Job which Blake was already composing for Linnell. There was an established tradition of creating illustrations for the Divine Comedystretching back to the early Renaissance period, and to artists such as Premio della Quercia, Vechietta, and Sandro Botticelli.

Blake was probably inspired by their work, but with typical immodesty he spoke of his superiority to many Renaissance masters in his handling of color, seen to be at its most accomplished in the Divine Comedy sequence.

Blake believed that the effective use of color depended on control of form and outline, claiming that "it is always wrong in Titian and Correggio, Rubens and Rembrandt. The Divine Comedy commission was left incomplete as Blake died inhaving produced only a few of the paintings. However, those that survive are noted for their exquisite use of color, and for their complex, proto-Symbolist, visionary motifs. Linnell's commission is also said to have filled Blake with energy despite his age and ill health; he reputedly spent the last of his money on a pencil to continue his drawings.

The scene is an illustration of Job Satan Before the Lovers paintings of God is one of 22 engraved prints paintingw towards the end of Blake's life, known as the Illustrations of the Book of Job. In the passage above, God has allowed Satan to kill Job's family and take away his wealth in order to test his faith. Though his relationship with God ultimately endures, at this point Job is lamenting his lost happiness, and questioning the creator's wisdom. The Book of Job had preoccupied Blake sinceand was the subject of two previous watercolor paintings, created for Thomas Butts in and John Linnell in When he began the engravings Blake was therefore able to adapt various existing images, but the engravings became his most virtuosic response to the theme.

The whole series expresses his fascination with the figure of Job who, like Paintinvs, had lived a life of penury coupled with intense religious devotion.

In compositional terms, the Job illustrations are Blake's most technically complex paintjngs, rendered with an extraordinary degree of tonal and figurative detail. A marvelous final expression of Blake's imaginative and religious vision, Kathleen Raine describes the Illustrations of the Book of Job as "more than an illustration of the Bible; they are in themselves a prophetic vision, a spiritual revelation, at once a personal testimony and replete with Blake's Vagina generic of Christian Cabbala, Neoplatonism, and the mystical paintinbs of the Western Esoteric tradition as a whole".

She calls them as "a complete Rectal catheter of Blake's vision of man's spiritual drama.
