The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden Watercolour depicting The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Framed in a quality, 19th Century original gild Frame. Folio: 56.2cm x 76.6.cm: (22.1 inches x 30.1 inches) Framed: 66.4cm x 86.7cm (26.1 inches x 34.1 inches) LITERATURE: Elizabeth Luther Cary, The Art of William Blake, 1907; Anthony Blunt, The Art of William Blake, Oxford 1959; David Bindman, Blake As an Artist, Oxford and New York, 1977; Martin Butlin, The Paintings and Drawings of William Blake, vol. 1, New Haven and London 1981. William Blake (1757 1827) was a poet, illustrator, engraver, draughtsman, writer and painter whose efforts, due to their idiosyncratic and unorthodox nature, were largely unappreciated in his own lifetime. The knowledge Blake gained from working as an engraver enabled him to produce his own work in which he surrounded his poems with his own hand-coloured illustration. A powerful imagination is evident in every aspect of Blake's work. Among his most important works are the Illustrations of the Book of Job (1825), and the hundred or so watercolours to Dante's Divine Comedy. A deeply mystical man, Blake claimed he had visionary experiences that prompted him to invent his own belief system in which the creator of the universe, whom he renamed Urizen, brought vengeance on mankind through Jesus, renamed Orc. His social and political conscience railed against the prevailing academic painting of the eighteenth century. He saw it as representing all that he came to despise about the rational, materialistic age in which he found himself. ) Blake was a revolutionary British Master, whose work is present in many important public collections, including Harvard’s Winthrop Collection, The Tate Gallery in London, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and many more. Blake had a few Followers but his influence was clearly visible in all the Pre-Raphaelite artists. One of such Follower was Sir William Blake Richmond (1842 1874). He was born in London, the son of a painter & Academician. His father was a great admirer of William Blake, hence naming his son in his honour. He became an accomplished portraitist. He traveled to Italy, to study the great works of the Old Masters and painted large scale classical pictures following this visit, much influenced also by the group of Pre-Raphaelites. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1895. At a later stage he was given the formidable commission to decorate St Paul’s Cathedral, and to this work for many years he gave his utmost energies He lived well into the 20th century, when his art was deeply unfashionable. The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden shows a clear Blake influence and is reminiscent of his works painted between 1799 and 1800, executed in tempera or fresco. The composition is dominated by the figure of God whose arm is lifted in punishment of Adam and Eve, representing the sins of mankind whilst the angels look on in sorrows, expressing the Artist’s identification with mankind. The arrangement of the figures on a shallow stage also follows Blake, who tended to flatten the perspective and exaggerate their limbs and muscles for expressive effect. All Blake’s followers and Richmond, most notably, were greatly influenced by Michelangelo and, together with their contemporaries Fuseli, Barry, Mortimer and all the Pre-Raphaelites, they admired the great Michelangelo as an exponent of the more emotional element in classical art.
