Painting Description
"The Last Judgement" is a monumental painting by the English Romantic painter John Martin, renowned for his dramatic and apocalyptic landscapes. Created between 1851 and 1853, this work is the final piece in a triptych of paintings that also includes "The Great Day of His Wrath" and "The Plains of Heaven," all of which depict themes of divine retribution and salvation. Measuring approximately 196.8 cm × 325.7 cm (77.5 in × 128.2 in), "The Last Judgement" is a powerful example of Martin's fascination with the sublime and the spectacular.
The painting illustrates the biblical scene of the Last Judgement from the Book of Revelation, where the resurrected dead are summoned before the throne of God to be judged according to their deeds. Martin's composition is characterized by his signature use of extreme contrasts of light and dark, vast architectural structures, and minute figures overwhelmed by the grandeur of the scene. The central focus of the work is the figure of Christ, who presides over the judgement amidst a host of angels, while the righteous are separated from the damned, the latter being cast into the fiery abyss.
"The Last Judgement" was part of a series of works that were exhibited to the public in the 19th century with great success, drawing large crowds and influencing the visual culture of the Victorian era. Martin's work is often noted for its imaginative power and its influence on the development of the cinematic epic, as well as its reflection of contemporary religious and social anxieties.
Today, "The Last Judgement" is considered one of John Martin's masterpieces and is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance. The painting is part of the Tate collection in the United Kingdom, where it continues to be studied and admired for its visionary qualities and its impact on the Romantic movement in art.
