John Martin (1789-1854)

Solitude

Oil on canvas
width: 91.6 cm, height: 50.7 cm

This picture was exhibited with the lines: 'Ye woods and wilds, how well your gloom accords with my soul's sadness'. The vast expanse of nature and the dramatic colouring of the evening sun link this picture to Sublime landscape painting, which was part of the Romantic Movement. The picture may have been intended to suggest an end-of-the-world survivor of some natural or supernatural disaster. It is one of the small-scale pictures that John Martin painted in the 1830s and 1840s.
