Saw the exhibition yesterday,and was left in ...Hi,<br /><br />Saw the exhibition yesterday,and was left in shock by the 'gigantesque' imagination of John Martin.However...after a while I became obsessed with the lightning that repeated itself in several of his paintings. I came to the conclusion that John Martin could paint pretty much everything,except...lightning! The landscapes are biblical,architecture of an 'unhuman vastness',sometimes it became..hmm..even a bit bombastic,the proportions did not always fit.On one painting the horsemen had bigger bodies than the warhorses they rode. And why are almost half the horses he depicted white? The Three Big Ones between 1845 and 1853 were breathtaking,Satan in council sublime,and I liked 'The last Man' in particular.<br /><br />Please,let there be no misunderstanding,I'd give my soul for another visit,but I a have traveled a few thousand miles and can therefore not go back.<br /><br />Thank you Egan...for making me see Hell and Heaven.<br /><br />isbn 978-1-85437-889-7Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167442366563050714.post-50235762819371899692011-10-07T09:05:12.753-07:002011-10-07T09:05:12.753-07:00I will go and see an exhibition of this work in Lo...I will go and see an exhibition of this work in London's Tate Britain gallery.Geek Spellerhttp://www.geekandspell.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167442366563050714.post-82544983917540289392011-09-24T03:59:15.140-07:002011-09-24T03:59:15.140-07:00I did the same as Rob.
