    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.
