"The Fall of Babylon" is an oil painting by the English Romantic painter John Martin, created in 1819. This work is part of a series of grandiose and apocalyptic landscapes for which Martin became renowned in the 19th century. The painting depicts the biblical story of the fall of the ancient city of Babylon, as prophesied in the Book of Isaiah and the Book of Revelation, showcasing the artist's fascination with dramatic narratives and his mastery of light and shadow to evoke emotion and grandeur.

Measuring an impressive 157.5 cm × 241 cm, "The Fall of Babylon" is characterized by its vast architectural scale and the tumultuous events it portrays. The scene is set against a backdrop of dark, stormy skies and the chaos of a city in the throes of destruction, with buildings crumbling and fires raging. In the foreground, the panic and despair of Babylon's inhabitants are palpable as they flee the devastation. The painting's composition, with its use of stark contrasts between light and dark, serves to highlight the divine wrath being visited upon the city for its hubris and moral decay.

John Martin's work is often noted for its influence on the development of cinematic techniques, particularly in the genre of epic films. "The Fall of Babylon" exemplifies this influence with its dramatic visual storytelling and the way it seems to anticipate the widescreen spectacles of modern cinema. The painting is a testament to Martin's ability to blend biblical and historical themes with his own imaginative vision, creating works that both reflect and transcend the artistic trends of his time.

"The Fall of Babylon" is held in high regard for its technical skill and its impact on the Romantic movement in art, as well as for its enduring influence on visual culture. The painting is part of the collection of the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
