William Blake: The Age of Romantic Fantasy at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin

The National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin is hosting the first-ever exhibition of William Blake's work in Ireland, titled "William Blake: The Age of Romantic Fantasy." The show features major works such as "The Night of Enitharmon’s Joy" (c. 1795) from Tate, and includes a life mask of Blake painted by Francis Bacon, connecting the Romantic visionary to the 20th-century Irish-born artist. The article explores Blake's radical politics, his arrest for sedition in 1803, and his enduring influence on figures like Bacon and the critic David Sylvester.

New book offers a suitably poetic vision of Blake and his legacy

A new book titled "William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love" by biographer and critic Philip Hoare explores the life and work of William Blake, focusing on the three years the artist spent in Felpham, a coastal village in England, starting in 1800. Hoare argues that the ocean profoundly influenced Blake's art and poetry, using the sea as a metaphor to examine Blake's visionary prints, poems like "Milton," and his androgynous, fluid figures. The book also weaves in a cast of other historical figures—including Herman Melville, Paul Nash, and Nancy Cunard—whom Hoare dubs "sea monsters" for their rebellious, queer, and amphibious spirits.
