  • William Blake's Visions and the Unio Artistica1
    William Blake's Visions and the Unio Artistica1 By BO LINDBERG Early writers on William Blake were very much attracted by his visions. They presented the sensational stuff with remarkable dramatic skill, using it as evidence of Blake's being either eccentric, insane or divine.2 Modern scholars, on the other hand, refuse to take the visions seriously, explaining away Blake's descriptions of them as "poetic language" and rejecting the visionary heads as a hoax, with which Blake amused himself at the expense of credulous friends.3 The present article forms part of a work in progress, dealing with William Blake's illustrations for the Book of Job. 2 Cf. "Nativity of Mr. Blake The Mystical Artist", Urania, or, The Astrologer's Chronicle, No. I, London, Dec. 20th, 1825, p. 71. John Varley, A Treatise of Zodiacal Physiognomy, London 1828, gives a detailed account of the apparition of the Ghost of a Flea, cf. below, p. 244, note 1. In the Revue Britannique, Juillet 1833, appeared an interview with Blake "le Voyant" in the Bedlam Madhouse "Statistique. Hôpital des fous à Londres". Blake was never in Bedlam, and the interview is altogether false. It was quoted as fact by A. Brierre de Boismont, Des Hallucinations, Paris 1845 (Engl. transl. London 1859, pp. 83-85), and by John Timbs, English Eccentrics and Eccentricities, London 1866, I, pp. 67-69, 2nd ed., 1875, p. 346. The article in the Revue Britannique is compiled and distorted from a sensational but correct notice, "Bits of Biography, Blake, the Vision Seer, and Martin, the York Minster Incendiary", The Monthly Magazine, March 1833.

    JOHN VARLEY of the "OLD SOCIETY" by ADRIAN BURY Author of "Water Colour Painting of Today," "Oil Painting of Today," "The Art of Reginald G. Eves, R.A.," "Thomas Collier, R.I.," "Leaves of Syon," etc. / LEIGH-ON-SEA F. LEWIS, PUBLISHERS, LIMITED THE TITHE HOUSE JOHN VARLEY : THE ASTROLOGER L artists must be seers of a kind. In looking into the mysteries of form and colour, light and shade, studying the miracle of nature, their minds are drawn toward things occult. The best of our landscape painters, in the poetic sense of a Turner or a Constable, develop and encourage a perception beyond average normal experience. Nor does this experience necessarily depend on any religious belief. In some cases, as with Blake and Linnell, a profoundly Christian attitude helps to stimulate their faculties in a certain direction. Though Varley had those virtues that make for Christian conduct, he was an agnostic. He had no beliefs, but a great reverence in the presence of nature as a manifestation of some inscrutable power. Varley, developing a taste for science and invention, adopted the view that everything could be explained ultimately by energetic and sincere enquiry. It will be recalled that a genius for science was nounced in the Varley family. His father and uncle, Richard and Samuel Varley, were scientifically minded. His brother Cornelius, was a tinguished scientist, and this talent has persisted throughout later generations of the Varleys. John Varley believed that astrology was a vehicle of acquiring greater knowledge, and he studied it with as much enthusiasm as he devoted to painting.

  • John Linnell's Oil Painting, Gravel Pits, Exhibited at the British Institution in 1813 (Fig 1) Describes an Open Gravel Pit On
    John Linnell’s Kensington Gravel Pits: A Landscape from the Edge of London Introduction John Linnell’s oil painting Gravel Pits, exhibited at the British Institution in 1813 (fig. 1) describes an open gravel pit on once verdant land, a yawning breach that narrows as it moves horizontally across the surface of the 2.3-by-3.7-foot canvas, to reveal a cross section of the Earth’s strata. The excavated gravel and sand rise in piles on the near bank. Scattered near the pit’s edge, five men, two adolescents and a woman are at work. On the far side of the pit, a terraced road cuts into the slope, and farther up awaits a wagon hitched with horses, ready to haul away a load of gravel. The pit and the piles of individually delineated pieces of gravel shimmer in the sunlight. Figure 1. John Linnell, Kensington Gravel Pits, 1811-12, oil on canvas, 71.1 x 106.7 mm. Tate Britain, London. 1 Reviewing the exhibition for The Examiner, Robert Hunt wrote: “Gravel Pits is a landscape of first rate merit. It is nature presented in its most agreeable and lively aspect as far as regards so novel and difficult a subject”.1 Although the Morning Post misspelled the artist’s name – as did the catalogue – the critic acknowledged that “Lennel [sic] whose early merit attracted our notices some years ago, has fulfilled the promise of his talents: he has an excellent picture of Gravel Pits”.2 Neither reviewer elaborated on the unusual image of a working pit.
