After John Martin (1789-1854) - John Martin

"The Seventh Plague of Egypt," an 1823 oil painting reproduction by the celebrated English Romantic artist John Martin (1789-1854), is a dramatic and meticulously detailed depiction of a pivotal biblical scene. Martin, renowned for his epic compositions of historical and religious subjects like “Belshazzar’s Feast,” masterfully captures the intensity of Exodus 9:23 – Moses calling down a violent storm upon Egypt. This artwork showcases Martin's signature style, characterized by minute figures overwhelmed by imposing scale and a powerful sense of divine intervention. The painting vividly portrays the chaos and terror as thunder and hail descend, illuminating the landscape with an otherworldly light. Originally exhibited at the inaugural exhibition of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1824, it was quickly acquired by John Lambton, later Earl of Durham, and is now held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This reproduction faithfully captures the original’s emotional depth and technical brilliance, offering a compelling glimpse into Martin's artistic vision and his ability to supplement textual narratives with visual grandeur.
