Professional Development: Guided Tour of “William Blake: The Age of Romantic Fantasy”

Guided tour of William Blake: The Age of Romantic Fantasy

National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin 2

As part of an ongoing programme of professional development for Black Church Print Studio members, a group of studio members were recently taken on a guided tour of William Blake: The Age of Romantic Fantasy at the National Gallery of Ireland (organised in collaboration with Tate) by Anne Hodge, the Curator of Prints and Drawings at the NGI.

The exhibition presents a selection of William Blake’s most iconic works of art, alongside paintings and drawings by his contemporaries, the artists he admired and those he inspired.

In recent years, BCPS members have attended guided curatorial tours of Picasso: From the Studio; Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone – The Art of Friendship; and Turning Heads: Rubens, Rembrandt and Vermeer at the National Gallery of Ireland.
