MARTIN, JOHN (1789-1854)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 794 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARTIN, JOHN (1789-1854) ,
English
  painter, was born at Haydon
Bridge
 , near Hexham, on the 19th of July 1789. He was apprenticed by his father to a coachbuilder to learn heraldic
painting
 , but owing to a quarrel the indentures were cancelled, and he was placed under Bonifacio Musso, an Italian artist, father of the enamel painter Charles Musso. With his master Martin removed to London in 18o6, where he married at the age of nineteen, and supported himself by giving drawing lessons, and by
painting
  in water colours, and on china and glass. His leisure was occupied in the study of perspective and architecture. His first picture, " Sadak in
Search
  of the Waters of Oblivion," was exhibited in the Royal
Academy
  of 1812, and sold for fifty guineas. It was followed by the "Expulsion" (1813), "Paradise" (1813), "Clytie" (1814), and "Joshua" (1815). In 1821 appeared his " Belshazzar's Feast," which excited much favour-able and hostile comment, and was awarded a prize of 200 at the British Institution, where the Joshua had previously carried off a premium of boo. Then came the "Destruction of Herculaneum" (1822), the " Creation " (1824), the "EveoftheDeluge" (1841), and a
series
  of other Biblical and imaginative subjects. In 1832-1833 Martin received 2000 for drawing and engraving a fine
series
  of designs to Milton, and with Westall he produced a set of Bible illustrations. He was also occupied with schemes for the improvement of London, and published various pamphlets and plans dealing with the
metropolitan
  water
supply
 , sewage, dock and railway systems. During the last four years of his
life
  he was engaged upon his large subjects of "The Judgment," the " Day of Wrath," and the " Plains of Heaven." He was attacked with paralysis while painting, and died in the Isle of Man on the 17th of
February
  1854.
