<p> (2), an English painter of Biblical subjects, was born near Hexham, Northumberland, July 19, 1789; went to London in 1806, and, after some years spent in obscure struggles, made his first appearance as an exhibitor at the [[Royal]] [[Academy]] in 1812. His picture was entitled Sadak in [[Search]] of the [[Waters]] of Oblivion, and attracted much notice. It was followed within two years by the Expulsion from Paradise, Clytee, and Joshua commanding the Sun to stand still. The last of these works was a great success in point of popularity, but it was also the cause of a quarrel between Martin and the English Academy, in consequence of which he never obtained any distinction from the society. From this period till nearly the close of his life he incessantly painted pictures in a style which was considered "sublime" by the same sort of people who thought Montgomery's Satan and Pollok's Course of Time equal to [[Paradise]] Lost. The principal of these productions are Belshazzar's Feast (1821); [[Creation]] (1824); The [[Deluge]] (1826); The Fall of [[Nineveh]] (1828); Pandemonium (1841); [[Morning]] and [[Evening]] (1844); The Last Man (1850). He died at Douglas, [[Isle]] of Man, Feb. 9, 1854. '''''—''''' Chambers, Cyclop. s.v. See Autobiography of John Martin in the Athenoeum (1854). </p>
