William Blake 'I still go on / Till the Heavens and Earth are gone'

3 November 2007 – 22 June 2008

William Blake, Nebuchadnezzar 1795–c.1805. Tate.

Special display marking the 250th anniversary of the birth of William Blake.

This special display marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of William Blake.

Tate created the first ever Blake Gallery in the 1920s and since then Tate has played a very important part in presenting Blake to an international audience. This display includes Blake works from the excellent permanent collection but a highlight is the private loans of recently discovered works which have never before been exhibited.

As part of Tate's contribution to this anniversary celebration we have published a facsimile of William Blake's first printed book of poems, the 'Poetical Sketches' of 1783, from a copy which includes the author's handwritten corrections.

  • William Blake’s 1809 Exhibition

    Martin Myrone and David Blayney Brown

    This paper introduces the 1809 London exhibition that William Blake organised of his own works, exploring its high ambition and disastrous failure. It also sets the scene for the other three articles about Blake’s exhibition in this issue of Tate Papers, examining the London art world and the emerging exhibition and commercial culture in early nineteenth-century Britain.
