William Blake - Ecate

The audio-picture is a new way to experience the greatest masterpieces in the history of art. It's simple and takes just a few minutes. Here I'll tell you about Hecate by William Blake 😉 ▼▼CONTINUE BELOW▼▼ The son of a stocking dealer, William Blake had visions from childhood that influenced his relationship with both painting and poetry and characterized his "prophetic" personality as an artist. At the age of ten, he began drawing under the guidance of Henry Pars. He then learned copperplate techniques from James Basire, for whom he also drew subjects inspired by the Middle Ages. From his earliest independent works, the influence of his main models is evident, among whom Michelangelo was destined to become the most important. In 1778, he enrolled at the Royal Academy, but soon clashed with Joshua Reynolds over the issue of the preeminence of color and drawing. Blake defended the classicist position, which is expressed in his works through a sober use of color. The video is also subtitled in Italian, English, French, and Spanish.
