Question

An artist claimed that his efforts to finish a painting inspired by this man were hindered by the “spirit of Titian” and the “infernal machine called Chiaro-Scuro.” A painting in Chicago’s Art Institute depicts this man with fleshy hands but a ghastly face (-5[1])as he sits cross-legged to the right of a girl sewing and another girl at a podium. A nude depiction of this man with his back to the viewer and raising his right arm appears on a frontispiece in which he stands among yellow and blue clouds. He’s not Shakespeare, but this author inspired the Thomas and Butts sets of illustrations and an unpopular gallery spearheaded by (10[1])Henri (10[1])Fuseli, (10[4]-5[1])who painted (-5[1])him dictating (10[2])to his (10[2])daughter. (10[2])A winged (10[2])figure (10[1])is shown upside-down plummeting to Earth in one of the illustrations (10[3])of a poem (-5[1])by this author by Gustave (10[1])Doré. For 10 points, what poet titles an epic poem illustrated by (10[1])its author, William Blake? ■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: John Milton [accept Milton: A Poem in Two Books; accept Milton Gallery; accept Milton Dictating to His Daughter]
