EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers into the enchanting world of William Blake's "Songs of Innocence". Created in 1789, this relief etching with watercolor showcases Blake's mastery as both an artist and poet. Measuring at 11.3x7.2 cm, it may be small in size but holds immense artistic power. The image depicts a serene scene, where a cradle gently rocks amidst lush foliage and creeping ivy. The delicate lines and intricate details bring life to every element, evoking a sense of tranquility and innocence. As one gazes upon this artwork, they are transported back to their own childhood memories or perhaps reminded of the purity within themselves. Blake was not only an artist but also a renowned poet, known for his romantic themes and lyrical verses. This print beautifully combines his talents by incorporating elements of poetry within the visual composition. The intertwining branches seem to echo the rhythm of a song while inviting viewers to explore their own imagination. Housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this piece stands as a testament to Blake's enduring legacy as one of England's most celebrated artists. It serves as an invitation for all art enthusiasts to delve into the rich tapestry of British art history and immerse themselves in its beauty and depth. Bernie C.
