William Blake, the visionary English poet, painter, and printmaker, passed away peacefully on August 12, 1827, at the age of 70, in his London residence at Fountain Court off the Strand. He spent his final hours tirelessly working on his illustrations for Dante's *Inferno*, even sketching a final portrait of his devoted wife, Catherine, before singing hymns and verses until his last breath. He expressed happiness and hope for salvation, with witnesses describing his passing as that of "a blessed angel." His life, though largely unrecognised during his time, was dedicated to a unique artistic and spiritual pursuit, leaving behind a body of work now considered foundational to the Romantic Age. He is survived by his beloved wife, Catherine, who was his partner in life and art.
