John Martin

John Martin was a British painter, printmaker and illustrator.

Martin is known for his large-scale paintings of historical and religious subjects, as well as dioramas, which were very successful. John Martin was also a mezzotint engraver and among other things illustrated John Milton's Paradise Lost.

John Martin was hugely popular in Europe and influenced many artists. His fantastic architecture and magical, powerful landscapes boggled the mind and stirred the imagination. The French Romantic movement in both art and literature was inspired by it. Even when building railroad bridges in England, architects were inspired by Martin's works.
