NEWTON by WILLIAM BLAKE.


This painting represents the ROMANTIC SENSIBILITY. Newton, the pragmatic man of Maths, works on some form of mathematical problem whilst ignoring the beauty of the natural world that surrounds him. Newton is sitting at the bottom of the sea. One critic has suggested that Newton appears to be using a beautiful abstract painting as a seat! The pragmatic man of logic is oblivious to the beauty and majesty of the world.
