This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of "Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still Upon Gibeon". Painted by John Martin in 1840, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 48x62.5 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The scene unfolds against a majestic mountain backdrop, with soldiers gathered around Joshua as he commands the sun to halt its movement. The dramatic sky above is filled with billowing thunder clouds, adding an air of intensity and power to this extraordinary event. In this historic biblical tale set in a town northwest of Jerusalem, Joshua's authority over nature is vividly portrayed. As troops stand witness to this miraculous occurrence, one cannot help but be captivated by their expressions of astonishment and reverence. Martin's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this composition to life. From the rugged terrain beneath their feet to the intricate folds of clothing worn by each soldier, his skillful brushwork invites viewers into a world where faith intersects with divine intervention. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Martin's artistic genius while immersing ourselves in a moment that transcends time itself.
