John Martin illustrated Thomas Gray's poem "The Bard," showing the last Welsh bard cursing King Edward I from a mountainous crag. The tiny figure stands against vast, sublime cliffs while the English army passes below. Martin's dramatic contrasts of scale create overwhelming feelings of nature's power.
Martin specialized in apocalyptic and historical subjects rendered with theatrical Romantic grandeur. His visions of cataclysmic landscapes made him one of the most popular British painters of his time. Now at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven.
