From Campbell Fine Art:
John Martin’s magnificent large scale mezzotints are the most impressive original works ever to have been produced in the soft steel medium and are amongst the most powerful and spectacular works of the period. These extraordinary visionary designs represent some of the very few truly creative, original works to be produced by any major artist of the period using the mezzotint process.
