He holds a bowl out in one hand and a thorn-like spike in the other, looking down into the bowl. Behind him a green-tailed comet streaks across a dark sky set with gold stars. A tiny flea sits on the floor at his feet, and the panel is signed at the lower right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: tempera and gold on mahogany, c. 1819-20; Tate, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Blake (1757–1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker. Apprenticed to the engraver James Basire and later a student at the Royal Academy, he invented relief etching in 1788, a method for printing text and image together that he used for Songs of Innocence and of Experience (1789\/1794) and his prophetic books. Largely unrecognised in his lifetime, he worked with his wife Catherine Boucher as colourist, and his late watercolour series illustrating the Book of Job was among his last major projects. His work is held by the British Museum, Tate Britain and the Fitzwilliam Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
