William Blake’s Universe

Discover a constellation of European artists seeking spirituality in their lives and art in response to war, revolution and political turbulence.

  • 23rd February 2024 - 19th May 2024

This timely new exhibition brings together the largest-ever display of works by the radical British artist, printmaker and poet from our own collection, alongside artworks by his European contemporaries such as the German romantic painters Philipp Otto Runge and Caspar David Friedrich – many of which have never been displayed publicly in the UK until now.
