I own a copy

I was awed by the ultra-detailed epic paintings by John Martin I had seen at the Tate and the Smithsonian. The ridiculous level of detail and the apocalyptic imagery oscillate between brilliance and kitsch. This book, tied to an exhibition I'd dearly love to see, tries to explain why. It turns out there was more to Martin than meets the eye.
