Abstract

The article analyses the heritage of English artist John Martin (1789–1854), practically unknown for a Russian reader. It tells about an outstanding event taken place in Britain in 2011 — an exhibition of the romantic master titled “Heaven and Hell”. It also provides background information on the issue previously presented both in English and Russian art studies. This research work develops some ideas that can be found in the article “Oriental themes and Art of John Martin”, published in the first issue of the journal, 2013. In addition, it analyses some philosophical and image connection of Martin’s art with contemporary practice of English architects. It brings together the past and the future of a unique part of English North, Northumberland. The local legends of the area and their influence on creative power of the artist are being analysed for the first time.
