Description: | This print was made by the engraver Thomas Maclean for John Martin. It shows the second of Martin's three 'Last Judgement' pictures, painted at the end of his career. The scene follows the account given in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, which describes earthquake, tumbling mountains, and a blood-red and black sky. At the front of the picture, sinners are falling into an enormous chasm. In the centre background, an entire city on a massive rock is being hurled to destruction. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement art North East artists people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
