John Martin (1789-1854) "Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion" (1812) Oil on canvas Romanticism Located in the Saint Louis Art Museum, St Louis, Missouri, United states The painting depicts Sadak, a fictional character in a story in James Ridley's The Tales of the Genii; it is a faux-Oriental tale allegedly from a Persian manuscript, but actually the work of Ridley himself. In Ridley's story, the hero Sadak is sent by his Sultan, Amurath, to find the memory-destroying "waters of oblivion." The Sultan maliciously intends to use the waters on Sadak's wife Kalasrade in a seduction attempt. Sadak endures a range of trials — a tempest at sea, a plague, evil genii, a subterranean whirlpool — before he attains his goal. In the end, the Sultan himself falls victim to the water's effect. Amurath dies; Sadak becomes Sultan. Martin's picture portrays Sadak at the climax of his struggle, just before he reaches the waters of oblivion.
