Monument to William Blake
In 1956, the Blake Society for Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey commissioned Epstein to create a portrait of the English poet, artist, and mystic (1757–1827), who had died over one hundred years earlier. Working from portraits, sketches, and photographs of the lifemasks in England's National Portrait Gallery, Epstein created a menacing image of the genius.
