"William Blake (1757–1827), Engraved by Luigi Schiavonetti (1765–1810)" is a notable portrait of the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, created by the painter Thomas Phillips in 1807. The portrait is significant as it captures Blake during a period of his life when he was gaining recognition for his unique artistic and poetic vision, yet still struggling with financial instability and relative obscurity in the broader cultural landscape of the time.

Thomas Phillips, a respected portraitist of the era, depicted Blake in a thoughtful pose, surrounded by symbolic elements that reflect his mystical and visionary qualities. The portrait was then engraved by Luigi Schiavonetti, an Italian engraver who was active in London and known for his fine stipple engravings, which allowed for a high level of detail and a soft gradation of tones. Schiavonetti's work on the engraving helped to disseminate the image of Blake, contributing to the posthumous recognition of Blake's genius.

The collaboration between Phillips and Schiavonetti in the creation of this portrait underscores the intersection of different artistic disciplines—painting and engraving—and highlights the role of reproductive engraving in the 18th and early 19th centuries as a means of both celebrating and popularizing the images of cultural figures. The portrait remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the way Blake was viewed by his contemporaries and serving as a visual representation of one of the most enigmatic and profound figures in British art and literature.
