Description: | The figure of God is just visible in the centre of this image, as he creates light out of nothingness and so begins the creation of the world. The picture is an illustration to an 1825 edition of 'Paradise Lost' (1660) by the poet John Milton (1608-1674). John Martin made a series of high-quality mezzotint prints from his own designs for 'Paradise Lost'. These were extremely successful, and Martin concentrated on printmaking in the 1830s and '40s. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement artists art North East artists people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
