Richard III and The Ghosts | William Blake | 1806 Size:A3 Portrait Gustave Doré’s finely etched linesRichard III and the Ghosts (c. 1806) by William Blake shows the tyrant king in a moment of violent panic, brandishing his sword as the pale ghosts of his victims rise around him. Rendered in Blakes stark, visionary style, the scene blurs dream and reality, turning guilt and conscience into physical apparitions. The surrounding figures press in silently, transforming the tent into a haunted space where power collapses under moral reckoning. Print: A
