how
john martin is my guy of the week tbh. the depth in his paintings is utterly insane.
#unbefuckinglievable#this one and the feast one r so crazy like…. it’s biblical levels of shit going down#while sooooo much of the canvas is architecture#what did he mean by that#& hes a big fan of lightning. same dude. but i guess its representative of Divine Godly Power or whatever the fuck#but the 2 in the middle r mostly water which is. also biblical#it’s reeeally interesting to me how back in the old days the bible was like the only thing on ao3 for them#lots of the creative types were drawn to it. but this is british art so white people who didn’t gaf about other cultures anyway#or just like. religious entitlement or smth which gave them the idea that painting abt the bible was the only thing worth painting#idk im not a fucking art historian#or maybe they were often paid for by the church. probably.#fuckin religious propaganda and shit. whats my point#i just think it’s kinda interesting how religion is such a good tool for people to make sense of things/give rules 2 things incomprehensible#kinda got all warped though now it sucks shit#really incredible art though…..#romanticism is pretty cool. im a fan#but i do wonder what was the state of the sociopolitical climate that brought it on anyway. fuckin nationalism probably#art#&
