	John Martin (painter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Martin (July 19, 1789–February 17, 1854), English painter, was born at Haydon Bridge, near Hexham.
		With his master, Martin removed from Newcastle to London in 1806, where he married at the age of nineteen, and supported himself by giving drawing lessons, and by painting in water colors, and on china and glass.
		Martin suffered an attack of paralysis while painting and died on the Isle of Man.

	Princeton - News - Princeton Professor John Rupert Martin dies at 83
		"John Martin was a leader in his field of scholarship; a demanding and resourceful scholar who was extraordinarily interested in the world of art and who actively participated in the (Princeton University) art museum," said Peter C. Bunnell, a professor of art and archeology.
		Martin was born on Sept. 27, 1916 in Hamilton, Ontario.
		Martin had a way of pausing, looking at a painting and then turning to the class with a question like, "There, do you see it?" as if something were being discovered for the first time and the whole class sharing in the important moment, Scribner said.

	The Eve of the Deluge by MARTIN, John (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Eve of the Deluge by MARTIN, John
		John Martin had humble beginnings in Newcastle-upon-Tyne as a herald painter to a coach-builder, and then in London as a painter on china and glass, but he later achieved a great success with his highly imaginative paintings of scenes from a variety of literary sources, particularly the Old Testament.
		The impact of Martin's paintings was also enhanced by his use of vivid contrasts in colour, which served to emphasise the grandeur and other-worldliness of his compositions, and the varying thickness of the paint surface.

		The scenery of Allendale was a major influence on the extraordinary painter John Martin, born in Haydon Bridge.
		Martin attended the grammar school in Haydon Bridge until the family left for Newcastle when the artist was 14 years old.
		Martin was also active in proposing civil engineering projects in London and the Egyptian style of Brunel's Clifton suspension bridge owes something to the painter, as does his viaduct at Hanwell.

	Artist - John Martin, Mezzotinter
		John Martin, painter, mezzotinter, man of gorgeous imagination, second to De Quincey or the author of Vathek, is today more forgotten than Beckford himself.
		John Martin was slightly cracked; at least he was so considered by his contemporaries.
		Martin was not equally successful in portraying celestial episodes, though his paradises are enormous panoramas replete with architectural beauties.

		Between 1834 and 1840 the visionary artist John Martin painted three large-scale epic works relating the Genesis story of the flood, the terrible punishment brought down by a wrathful God upon sinning humanity.
		John Martin (1789-1854) made his name as a painter of just such scenes of cataclysm, drawn largely from the Bible, in which mankind is overwhelmed by the power of God and the immensity of Nature.
		The exhibition was organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and shown at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor as part of the "Britain Meets the Bay" celebrations.

	John Bartlow Martin Papers (Library of Congress)
		Martin was first and always a writer and one of a small group of independent reporters who made a living from full-time free-lance nonfiction writing.
		Martin's theme in these writings often centered on a specific social dilemma or behavioral problem, such as prison and labor reform, racial segregation, juvenile delinquency, and the mentally ill. The result of this practice was Martin's transfer of manuscripts and research materials from files associated with the articles to those created for the book.
		Martin was an extensive reviser, and most of his drafts are heavily edited, allowing the researcher to trace the literary development of his social themes.

	BBC - Painting the Weather - Martin
		British painter, often referred to as ‘Mad Martin’, John Martin was famed for his classical and biblical subjects in which tiny figures were shown overwhelmed by the forces of nature.
		Martin’s lurid imagination, his dramatic use of perspective and the vast size of his canvases made viewing his pictures a thoroughly theatrical experience.
		Martin was also interested in architecture and designed a drainage and sewage system for London in the 1830s.

	John Martin's Paradise Lost mezzotints, page 4
		Martin made revisions to a few of the plates, and the whole set was released in a bound edition.
		The genius of Martin's composition, and his uncanny mastery of light, dark, mist and shadow in a medium as exacting as mezzotint, are as difficult to fathom now as they were in the 19th century.
		In April 1825 Martin exhibited 20 of his mezzotints at the Royal Society of British Artists, and the art public was enthusiastic in their reception.

	On John Martin and cities
		Martin's 1827 mezzotint of the work, and his 1848 oil copy, both radically expanded on the detail of these distant buildings, enunciating crisp arcades, drum-shaped capitals and great quarried pylon gateways.
		Martin's image can be crucially contrasted to Rembrandt's celebrated work; he has traded that Dutch master's intimate moral drama and baroque darkness for a classic Martinian sweep of cavernous architecture, lit up in a scarlet and starlit blaze of flame and lavish decadence.
		Martin has outdone himself on the detail, from the multitudes of reeling figures to the play of light, lambent around stepped pillars and vast recessed vaults, and the shadowy ever-presence of the Tower.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		According to Martin, one Sunday morning when the English artist hired by Hulbert was at church, Martin used his supplies to paint a memorial portrait of his sister.
		In 1890-91 Martin was proprietor of a "Home Studio" at 342 Elm Street; in 1892 his occupation was "portrait artist," and he lived at the same address as Charles Franklin (Frank) Reaugh.
		Because Martin was a self-taught artist who received his inspiration from "God's great university of nature," he was virtually ignored by Dallas art patrons.

	Martin family
		Martin and her mother was the well known Emma of my day- that her father was the original Englishman which agrees with my own impression from a talk with her uncle, George Martin, when I was about 14 in my foster father's house one night.
		AJ Martin confirmed what I'd heard of Old George Martin, his uncle-- that he was, like his brother Joseph-- a carpenter and joiner of great natural skill, in fine workmanship-- that he was lazy-- and cruel to his wife.
		The names are: John Chalk, age 47, widow and large family; William Coles, age 32, widow and 3 children as well as aged parents; Artellius Chalk, aged 27, widow and one child; George Chalk, aged 25, whose parents were depending upon their son for help; John Martin, aged 20.

	John Keats + Martin Luther's Reformation
		It was on this date, October 31, 1795, that British poet John Keats was born in London.
		His family was close, and when his father died in an 1804 riding accident, and his mother died of tuberculosis six years later, the 15-year-old Keats, two brothers and a sister, turned to each other.
		Martin Luther was coarse, bigoted and superstitious, but he was far from wrong to argue for the reform of the lavish luxury and doctrinal defects of the Church at Rome.

		Peter Cunningham, (Martin's son-in-law), claimed that this was modelled by Martin having a quantity of large coals dumped on the studio floor which he then attacked with a pick-axe to ensure a correct lay of the rocks for the work.
		Martin's first pamphlet 'Plan for the Supplying the Cities of London and Westminster with Pure Water from the River Colne' is published.
		Martin is, however, working again with, in April, the Academy receiving two large canvases 'The Death of Moses' and 'The Death of Jacob'.

	Recent critical analysis of John Martin's work
		Of late, John Martin, an organic but resolutely formalistic abstractionist, has been formidable and monumental, undeviating and restless, but now some caprice, whimsy and casual touches are undermining his analysis of planes and volumes.
		John Martin is without doubt the most significant painter of his generation living and working in this area.
		The exhibition of six huge recent paintings and two works on paper, is therefore, a notable event, dominating the top floor of the gallery with his familiar colours and strong forms........The current painting have a new freedom.

		Artist Biography: Martin was largely a self-taught artist, who achieved through his vivid imagination and bold, theatrical style an epitome of the romantic sublime in landscape painting that proved highly influential.
		So audacious were some of his visions that he received the nickname "Mad Martin." A lifelong foe of the academy, he was one of its most bitter critics in parliamentary hearings on the academy in 1836.
		In the 1820s, Martin turned his attention to engravings and mezzotints, partly as a way of reaching a larger audience, and his illustrations of Paradise Lost and the Bible proved particularly popular.

	John White
		His birthdate is unknown; however, the fact that he became a grandfather in 1587 suggests that he was born between 1540 and 1550.
		Also, he obviously had training as a limner (miniature painter) and the John White who was a member of the Painter-Stainers Company in London in 1580, and involved with the Office of the Revel in the production of the Masque of the Amazons in 1579, quite likely was the colonist artist.
		Regardless of his shortcomings as a leader, White was an excellent painter and his water-colors are an important source of information about the Roanoke Voyages.
