[en] The Ghost of a Flea

The Ghost of a Flea is a miniature painting by the English poet, painter and printmaker William Blake, held in the Tate Gallery, London. Measuring only 8.42 by 6.3 inches (21.4 by 16.0 centimetres), it is executed in a tempera mixture with gold, on a mahogany-type tropical hardwood panel.[1] It was completed between 1819 and 1820, as part of a series depicting "Visionary Heads" commissioned by the watercolourist and astrologist John Varley (1778–1842).[2] Fantastic, spiritual art was popular in Britain from around 1770 to 1830,[3] and during this time Blake often worked on unearthly, supernatural panels to amuse and amaze his friends.[4]
