Description
This is a reproduction of “Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum”of 1822 by John Martin. He was about thirty-three years old when he created this monumental masterpiece. The scene is a landscape depicting the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79. It was commissioned by the first Duke of Buckingham and Chados. The painting was damaged in 1928, but was found in 1978 and restored in 2011. The Artist was born in Northumberland in 1789 and became a student of Bonifacio Musso. They moved to London when Martin was seventeen and he married two years later. He supported himself giving drawing lessons and selling watercolors and, on his second attempt, had an oil on canvas hung in the Royal Academy when he twenty-two. Five years later he won public acclaim for his Joshua and two years later a large sale enabled him to buy a home and rid himself of debt. He went on to win wider public acclaim and to become a favorite of aristocrats and royalty. He died a wealthy man in 1874. This painting is an oil on canvas and measures 63.6 by 99.6 inches. It is in the Tate Gallery in London.
