"The Last Man" is an 1849 painting by the English Romantic artist John Martin, known for his dramatic and apocalyptic landscapes. This work is part of Martin's broader engagement with themes of destruction, divine judgment, and the sublime, which are recurrent throughout his oeuvre. The painting depicts a scene inspired by Thomas Campbell's poem of the same name, which itself draws from the biblical narrative of the end of the world and the concept of the last man on Earth.

In "The Last Man," Martin's mastery of the sublime is evident in the portrayal of a vast and desolate landscape, rendered with meticulous attention to detail and dramatic use of light and shadow. The central figure, the eponymous "last man," is seen standing on a rocky outcrop, overlooking a bleak and empty world, emphasizing the themes of isolation and the insignificance of humanity in the face of nature's overwhelming power.

The painting's composition and use of color contribute to its emotional impact, with dark, brooding tones and a horizon illuminated by a faint, possibly dying light. This visual representation of the end times resonates with the Victorian fascination with eschatology and the period's anxieties about industrialization and social upheaval.

"The Last Man" is considered an important work within Martin's artistic legacy and the Romantic movement as a whole. It reflects the era's preoccupation with the natural world and the human condition, as well as the artist's personal vision of the apocalyptic sublime. The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence can be seen in the works of later artists and in the broader cultural sphere, where it has contributed to visual interpretations of the end of the world.

As with many of Martin's works, "The Last Man" has been subject to various interpretations and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. It remains a powerful example of Romantic art's capacity to evoke profound emotional responses and to reflect the concerns of its time.
