William Blake

William Blake was never the eccentric loner or outsider that his early biographers made him out to be. Blake had visions but wasn’t mad. He was a Londoner and lived in a thriving metropolis. He went to a drawing school, was apprenticed to an engraver and studied at the Royal Academy.
