"King Lear" by William Blake refers to a series of illustrations created by the English artist and poet William Blake (1757–1827) for an edition of Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear." Blake was commissioned to produce these illustrations by the publisher and bookseller Richard Edwards for an edition that was never completed. The exact number of illustrations Blake made for "King Lear" is not known, but several are held in collections such as the British Museum and the Tate Gallery.

Blake's illustrations for "King Lear" are considered significant examples of his work as an illustrator and his engagement with literary themes. His depictions of the play's dramatic scenes and characters are noted for their emotional intensity and imaginative interpretation of Shakespeare's text. Blake's unique style, characterized by expressive line work and bold use of color, brings a visionary quality to the illustrations, reflecting his interest in the spiritual and psychological dimensions of human experience.

The illustrations are also an important part of Blake's broader artistic oeuvre, which includes poetry, printmaking, and painting. His work often grapples with themes of morality, rebellion, and prophecy, and his "King Lear" illustrations are no exception, exploring the complex interplay of power, madness, and redemption within the narrative of the play.

As a significant contribution to the visual arts and the interpretation of literary classics, William Blake's "King Lear" illustrations continue to be studied by scholars and appreciated by art lovers for their originality and depth of expression. They stand as a testament to Blake's genius and his ability to transcend the boundaries between visual and literary art.
