  4. Now look back. Again. Here’s Martin’s ‘The Great Day of His Wrath’ (1851-3). And then here’s Harry Durgin’s incredible shot of Mauna Loa from this week, 2023. On the scene. With a high-spec digital camera. A full 171 years later.

  5. These astonishing photos of this week’s Hawaiian volcano Mauna Loa by Harry Durgin are strikingly like one of 19thC British Romantic painter John Martin’s apocalyptic visions brought to life.

    Just look at The Great Day of His Wrath (1851) & The Fallen Angels Entering Pandemonium (attrib? 1841).

  6. Left: Detail from an #illustration by #HenryHoliday to fit8 in #LewisCarroll’s "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (1876).
    Right: Detail from the painting "#TheBard" (c. 1817) by #JohnMartin (mirror view of a horizontally compressed detail).
    Background: Segment of John Martin's "The #Bard".

    I suggest that the #monstrance-like shape of the tree drawn by Henry Holiday is a #PictorialReference to the monstrance-like shape of a tree in John Martin's #painting.

  9. This is bycatch from my Snark hunt and not related to Henry Holiday's illustrations.

    Left: Segment of Maurits Cornelis #Escher's "#CiminoBarbarano", 1929 (in Escher’s “Italian” period). This reproduction of the original print has been horizontally compressed and segments on the right side and of the left side of the image have been removed.

    Right: Segment of #JohnMartin's "The #Bard", ca. 1817. In that grayscale reproduction, the segments on the top and the bottom have been removed.
