Description: | This Bible subject shows Adam and Eve wandering through the bleak landscape of the newly-formed earth after being expelled from the Garden of Eden. This is the second version of this subject which John Martin painted. It was produced whilst he was working on his mezzotint illustrations to John Milton's long poem, 'Paradise Lost' (1667), which retold in poetry the Biblical story of the beginning of the world. The sharp rocky forms and red-and-grey colouring are in the Sublime landscape style, which aimed at awe-inspiring scenes. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1823 to 1827 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Martin | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
