William Blake was born on 28 November.Young Blake was
prone to fantastic visions, including seeing God, and angels in a tree.
He would later claim that he had regular conversations with his
deceased brother.It was soon apparent that Blake’s internal world of
imagination would be a prime motivator throughout his life. Noting
something special in their son the Blakes were highly supportive of
and encouraged his artistic creativity and thus began his education
and development as an artist.
威廉布雷克在1757年11月28日出生於英國倫敦,年輕時的
布雷克常常會有一些奇妙的構想,其中包括見到上帝與天使在一
棵樹上,他也聲稱自己常常與已故的弟弟討論.這很明顯的顯示出
在布雷克的內心世界裡,想像力是很重要的一環.注意到其兒子特
別的一點,布雷克父母非常支持,並鼓勵他的藝術創造力,進而開始
了他的教育和發展,作為一個藝術家.
He had early shown an interest in and aptitude for drawing,
so, at the age of ten Blake entered Henry Pars’ drawing school. Then,
at the age of fourteen Blake started a seven year apprenticeship with
engraver James Basire, the official engraver to the Society of
Antiquaries. From his bustling shop on Queen Street, Blake learned
all the tools of the trade that would become his main source of
income. The intense study of Gothic art and architecture appealed to
Blake’s aesthetic sensibility and brought out his penchant for the
medieval.
他對繪畫具有興趣與潛能,因此10歲的布雷克進入Henry
Pars‘的繪畫學校.十五歲時,成為James Basire 的學徒,其為一位刻
蝕畫家並提供出版商大量的插圖版畫,在Basrie之下學習七年,習
得標準銅板刻蝕的技術,也成為一輩子謀生的技能.布雷克的發展
是靠自身的熱誠與好奇心,由他偏好文藝復興的硬線條,相對於當
時巴洛克豐富的色調,可知他的獨立判斷能力.
他的作品Joseph of Arimathea
Blake's artistry in the most
high peak in 1785, he showed
three pictures of watercolor about
Joseph,also
completed
two
artistries about Bible.
1785年布雷克的作品達
到高峰,在學院展出三幅關於

Death of Ezekiel’s wife (1785)

book "Songs of Innocence", this
book shows him about the
innocence about child before they
are contaminated by the society

之愉悅純潔完整的狀態.

Hell(1790-93) and Visions of the
Daughters of Albion(1793), the
two are bigger than Songs od
Innocence, the logos of abstract are
convey in the mystery character.
1790-93年的作品The Marriage
of Heaven and Hell及1793 年 Visions of
the Daughters of Albion,兩者的大小
都比Songs of Innocence 大一些,都以
Blake自創的神秘性的人物表達他的抽
象理念
After the massacre on
September in 1792 in Paris, he
lost the avidity of his dream, it
might cause bipolar disorder in
1790-1800. the artistry in 1793:
America, a Prophecy,1794:
Europe, a Prophecy
在 巴 黎 1792 年 的 九 月
屠殺之後,對於理想的熱情
似乎也隨之破滅,很可能也
導致了其後在1790-1800年困
擾他的憂鬱症。那時期的作
品 有 1793 年 , America, a
Prophecy,1794年, Europe, a
Prophecy

In 1800, the Blakes moved to Felpham in Sussex where
William was commissioned to illustrate works by his then
patron, poet William Hayley.In 1803 Blake was charged with
sedition after a violent confrontation with soldier John
Scolfield in which Blake uttered treasonable remarks against
the King.
1800年的秋天,受到詩人及贊助者William Hayley的
邀請,布雷克夫婦一起到海邊鄉下Felpham渡過三年。
他替Hayley的圖書館畫了一些裝飾性的肖像畫以及詩的插
畫,不過很快他就發現與主人沉悶看法不合,
並與一個闖入莊園的酒醉士兵起衝突,因此被控訴擾亂治
安,倫敦法院於1804年將他開釋。
From living in Felpham,
Blake was deep fascinated by
the poetry of Milton, he painted
a series of watercolor in 18011807,he used Paradise Lost to
be the blurprint made some

的神曲.威廉布雷克在1827年8月12日於家中逝世.
