Disillusioned with London life and struggling to make a living, Blake and his wife Catherine went in 1800 to live at the coastal village of Felpham, which the artist soon described as 'the sweetest spot on earth'. Providing his principal encounters with both English rural life and the coast, the artist's three years 'on the banks of the ocean' informed his two greatest illustrated epic poems, 'Milton' and 'Jerusalem', and continued to be reflected in his work for the rest of his career.
