About this work

A monochrome mezzotint-style print by John Martin, dated 1824, shows a muscular seated figure with an outstretched arm atop a dark mound, flanked by illuminated architectural structures. Tiers of spectators fill a vast amphitheatre on either side while rows of flaming lamps hang across a shadowed sky. The composition is a print in the Wikimedia Commons collection.
