John Martin's
This is
one of martin’s works that is on show in the Tate Brittan exhibition apocalyptic
this picture depicts The Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and is one of many works
that he produced while working. He manages to capture the destruction and power
of what’s hitting Pompeii, but also in some ways makes it look beautiful with
the light braking though the back of the scene hitting Pompeii then the use of
the reds and oranges in the sky creating something that is striking and amazing
to look at but at the same time shows such destruction.
