The Mission of Virgil, 1824-27. William Blake.  Blake was an extraordinarily individual visionary whose work epitomises the most famous quality of British art - its literary nature. Even when illustrating the work of other authors, Blake applied his own symbolism and world-view so that his illustrations are often really interpretations. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery own six watercolours from Blake's series of designs for illustrations to Dante's 'Divine Comedy' in which Virgil guides Dante through the stages of his spiritual salvation. Blake's view that organised religion is cruel and oppressive is shown here in the two figures at the top of the image representing Jehovah the 'Angry God', and religious and imperial power. The figures in flames represent mankind enslaved by ignorance and the repression of natural desires. Dante is shown from behind as he is about to step forward to the next stage of his own salvation.

Siyah Kalem or 'Black Pen' is the name given to the 15th century school of painting attributed to Mehmed Siyah Kalem. Nothing is known of his life, but his work indicates that he was of Central Asian Turkic origin, and thoroughly familiar with camp and military life. The paintings appear in the 'Conquerors Albums', so named because two portraits of Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror are present in one of them. The albums are made up of miniatures taken from manuscripts of the 14th, 15th, and early 16th centuries, and one series of paintings is inscribed 'work of Master Muḥammad Siyah Kalem'. Something of the style and techniques of Chinese paintings is apparent in these, and an acquaintance with Buddhist art, particularly in the depictions of grotesque demonic figures. It seems likely that certain paintings contained in the 'Conqueror's Albums' are of Chinese origin and may have been used as stylistic guides for painters in the Siyah Kalem tradition.

Mehmed Siyah-Kalem was a 15th-century artist known solely by the attribution of his name to a remarkable series of paintings preserved in the Imperial Ottoman Palace Library (Topkapi Saray). Nothing is known of his life, but his work indicates that he was of Central Asian (presumably Turkish) origin, probably from Iran or Turkestan, and thoroughly familiar with camp and military life. His paintings appear in the 'Conqueror's Albums', so named because they contain two portraits of Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror.

The Album. Artist: Édouard Vuillard (French, Cuiseaux 1868-1940 La Baule). Dimensions: 26 3/4 x 80 1/2 in. (67.9 x 204.5 cm). Date: 1895.In 1894-95, Thadée and Misia Natanson commissioned from Vuillard a series of five decorative panels known collectively as "The Album." The unusual character of these works matched that of the Natansons' Paris apartment, a large open space adjoined by several small alcove areas. Its unconventional decor reflected Misia's taste, which was inspired by the English Arts and Crafts movement. The apartment often served as an alternative office for Thadée's lively avant-garde journal, "La Revue blanche." Among the contributors to this influential publication were Claude Debussy, Léon Blum, Stéphane Mallarmé, and André Gide. The evocative Symbolist qualities of Mallarmé's poetry and Debussy's music find echoes in Vuillard's five panels, which take their name from this painting. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
