"Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion" is an 1812 oil painting by the English Romantic painter John Martin. Known for his dramatic landscapes and grandiose visions often inspired by literary or biblical themes, Martin's work is characterized by its epic scale and meticulous detail, which often evoke a sense of the sublime. This painting is no exception, as it depicts the story of Sadak, a character from James Ridley's Orientalist fantasy tale "Tales of the Genii" (1764).

The narrative of the painting follows the protagonist, Sadak, on his perilous quest to find the Waters of Oblivion, a task he undertakes in order to save his wife, Kalasrade, from the clutches of an evil sultan. The painting captures a moment of high drama and emotion, as Sadak is seen struggling against the overwhelming forces of nature, his figure dwarfed by the vast and hostile landscape that surrounds him.

Martin's work is distinguished by its use of light and shadow, which serve to heighten the emotional impact and underscore the themes of human endurance against insurmountable odds. The painting's composition, with its sharp contrasts and looming, jagged rock formations, creates a sense of tension and foreboding that is emblematic of Martin's style.

"Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion" is considered one of John Martin's early masterpieces and reflects the Romantic era's fascination with exoticism, heroism, and the power of nature. It is a significant work in the history of British art and has been influential in shaping the visual language of Romanticism. The painting is held in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Missouri, United States, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
