The Visionary Art of William Blake

More about the book

Naomi Billingsley delves into William Blake's unique perspective on the intersection of Christianity and art, exploring how he viewed Christ as the ultimate artist. The study examines Blake's rejection of organized worship while maintaining biblical truths, and how his radical ideas about religion are expressed through his paintings and writings. Billingsley argues that Blake's theology of art presents a Romantic vision where both the artist and Christ transform perceptions of the world, offering detailed analyses of his works and biblical interpretations.
