William Blake was not only a mystic, visionary and poet, he was also an accomplished artist who made a significant contribution to British art as a great watercolourist. Tate Britain in London provides an excellent introduction to his unique artistic style with its large collection of some of his finest watercolours.

Many Quakers will feel some affinity with William Blake’s very personal brand of Christianity and his rejection of the official church with all its dogma and hierarchies. William Blake insisted that creativity and imagination are the very stuff of our existence and our faith. For him the imagination is God and only through artistic endeavour can we really know Him. He believed it is the artist who provides our link to the Divine and is the true Priest of God.
