The Ghost of a Flea is a miniature painting by the English poet, painter and printmaker William Blake, held in the Tate Gallery, London. Measuring only 8.42 by 6.3 inches (21.4 by 16.0 centimetres), it is executed in a tempera mixture with gold, on a mahogany-type tropical hardwood panel. It was completed between 1819 and 1820, as part of a series depicting "Visionary Heads" commissioned by the watercolourist and astrologist John Varley (1778–1842). Fantastic, spiritual art was popular in Britain from around 1770 to 1830, and during this time Blake often worked on unearthly, supernatural panels to amuse and amaze his friends.

  • The Ghost of a Flea is a miniature painting by the English poet, painter and printmaker William Blake, held in the Tate Gallery, London. Measuring only 8.42 by 6.3 inches (21.4 by 16.0 centimetres), it is executed in a tempera mixture with gold, on a mahogany-type tropical hardwood panel. It was completed between 1819 and 1820, as part of a series depicting "Visionary Heads" commissioned by the watercolourist and astrologist John Varley (1778–1842). Fantastic, spiritual art was popular in Britain from around 1770 to 1830, and during this time Blake often worked on unearthly, supernatural panels to amuse and amaze his friends. At 21.4 cm × 16.2 cm the work is a greatly reduced miniature portrait. Blake generally worked on a small scale; most of his illuminated pages, engravings and many of his paintings are only inches high. Although Ghost of a Flea is one of Blake's smallest works, it is monumental in its imagination. Its tiny scale achieves drama in contrasting the muscular bulk and apparent power of the creature against its incarnation in the panel as an insect. (en)

  • O Fantasma de uma Pulga (em inglês: The Ghost of a Flea) é uma pintura em têmpera misturada com ouro em painel de mogno pelo poeta e pintor inglês William Blake, que se encontra hoje no Tate Gallery, em Londres.

Através da utilização do estilo espiritual e mágico de suas obras – visivelmente presente nesse desenho – era freqüente Blake surpreender seu círculo de amigos. Num tamanho de 214 × 162 mm (pintura) e 382 × 324 × 50 mm (moldura), a obra é considerada muito mais do que uma miniatura: segundo alguns estudiosos e autores, seu tamanho minúsculo cria um drama de escala no contraste entre a aparente massa muscular da criatura e sua potência física contra sua aparente encarnação de um inseto nos olhos do espectador.
