{"product_id":"john-martin-ruins-of-an-ancient-city-art-print","title":"John Martin — Ruins of an Ancient City | Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA broken colonnade of fluted columns stands in deep shadow at the left, an urn at its foot. Beyond it the ground drops to a ruined city lit in warm light: an amphitheatre, a pyramid, arches and roofless houses, with a temple on the cliff at right. Pale haze lies over a distant plain, and blue sky opens through white and pink-tinged clouds. Two small figures, one in red, walk down the slope below the columns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin imagined this Greek or Roman city rather than recording a real site. The Cleveland Museum of Art reads the almost archaeological detail of its buildings as neoclassical, while the sudden plunge from the foreground into a deep valley and the dramatic lighting are typical of Romantic painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on paper, mounted on canvas, c. 1810–20; Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Martin (1789–1854) was an English painter and mezzotint engraver famous for vast apocalyptic and biblical scenes: Belshazzar's Feast (1820), The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (1852) and Pandemonium (1841). His mezzotints for Milton's Paradise Lost (1825–27) carried his visions of colossal architecture and infernal light to a wide public. The Last Judgement triptych is in Tate Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
