* After Deville (James, 1777-1846). Life Mask of William Blake (1757-1827), 20th century bronzed plaster cast after the original bronze by James Deville of 1823, impressed on the back of the neck 'A66 /PUBd AUG 1 1823 j. DEVILLE, 67 Strand London', some loss of paint, 29cm high (Qty: 1)NOTESJames Deville (1777-1846) was a sculptor and phrenologist employed as an assistant to Joseph Nollekens. Phrenology was popular in the early 19th century following the publications of both Lavater and Spurzheim, and Blake himself was an advocate of this new 'science', in which the shape and contours of the skull are examined to indicate mental capacity and character. Fifty-six years old at the time the mould was taken in 1823, Blake was considered a perfect representation of "imaginative faculty". Very few original copies of Deville's Blake life mask exist, with examples in the National Portrait Gallery, London and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
