at school i have to write an essay on comparing Blake's 'London' and Wordsworth's 'composed upon Westminster Bridge'
This is what i need to know what was the name of the person Blake got his motivation from about the darker side of hell. I did have it but my friend lost the sheet
i know its an italatian and thats it
(sorry for any mis-spellings)
Raphael; Michelangelo; Dürer; Irish painter James Barry; Emanuel Swedenborg; John Milton's Paradise Lost; but you are probably thinking of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, were *major* influences on Blake, as well as the Moravian church.
He spent much of his seven year apprenticeship as an engraver in Westminster Abbey creating sketches and drawings of the tombs and statuary there. Some of his earliest drawings record the opening of Edward the 1st tomb and major works illustrating the book of Job.
This site: http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/blake/ has an excellent collection of his illustrations and information about his life and works.
