John Martin's many influential works brought him huge popularity in
his lifetime and his paintings have gone on to inspire film-makers,
designers and artists in Europe and America. This beautifully
illustrated book makes an important contribution to the revival of
national and international interest in him and will complement a
forthcoming touring exhibition. Establishing the context of
Martin's youth in rural Northumberland, his career in London and
subsequent national and international fame, Morden captures the
apocalyptic mood in England from the 1790s to the 1840s and
examines Martin's central position as a painter of the "sublime".
The distinctive character of his work is explored through key
paintings in terms of his techniques, devices and subject matter
and their relationship to the culture and of popular entertainment
of the time. Influencing 19th century railway and public
architecture, Martin's reputation spread to Europe and America,
going on to determine the course of early 20th century cinema and
anticipate inter-active mass media in the 21st century. This book
establishes John Martin as an important figure in cultural history,
shaping the way we view and respond to our modern world.
