对威廉·布莱克光辉灿烂、备受赞誉的十二幅单幅画系列的深入研究在威廉·布莱克（1757-1827）作为艺术家最广为人知和备受赞誉的作品中，有12幅彩色印刷图画，即单版画，构思并完成于1795年。本书对这些杰作进行了研究，解释了布莱克的重新创造的技巧，而他这些技巧17世纪不受先驱们的影响。

这些作品以绘画形式创作，并在布莱克作为画家的发展中起到了关键作用。通过材料和历史分析，Joseph Viscomi认为，这些单版画是作为独立的绘画创作的，而不是有着指定定观看顺序的布雷克书籍中的插图。通过丰富的插图，文本探讨了在那时代背景下的这些作品。虽然没有脱离布莱克著作中所表达的思想，但文本并不是说明或是确定了这些作品。

An in-

depth examination of William Blake’s glorious and acclaimed series of twelve monoprints

Among William Blake’s (1757–

1827) most widely recognized and highly regarded works as an artist are twelve color printed drawings, or monoprints, conceived and executed in 1795. This book investigates these masterworks, explaining Blake’s technique—

one he essentially reinvented, unaware of 17th-century precursors—

to show that these works were produced as paintings, and played a crucial role in Blake’s development as a painter. Using material and historical analyses, Joseph Viscomi argues that the monoprints were created as autonomous paintings rather than as illustrations for Blake’s books with an intended viewing order. Enlivened with bountiful illustrations, the text approaches the works within the context of their time, not divorced from ideas expressed in Blake’s writings but not illustrative of or determined by those writings.
