that is man s smallness in relation to nature s overwhelming power The sublime became a central theme in the romantic landscape art of the 1800s For Martin the experience of the sublime was linked to a Christian religious experience of nature Upon describing his paintings or experiences of nature Martin s choice of words was often religion-inspired and in the face of a landscape and the forces of nature he felt the presence of God En stor gran lutar sig dramatiskt in i bilden och pekar upp mot de höga klipporna i bakgrunden PÄ himlen trÀnger solen fram mellan dimslöjor och mörka moln Genom det dramatiska ljuset försöker konstnÀren fÄnga kraften i det vilda klipplandskapet Efter tolv Är i England ÄtervÀnde Elias Martin 1780 hem till Sverige Den hÀr mÄlningen tillkom vid den tiden och vittnar om intryck frÄn den samtida brittiska landskapskonsten Ett nytt intresse för den otÀmjda naturen spelade dÀr en framtrÀdande roll header A large pine tree dramatically leans into the picture and points towards the high cliffs in the background In the sky dark clouds clash as sunlight forces its way through the shrouds of fog Through the use of the light and haze the artist attempts to depict the power of the wild mountainous landscape This picture was painted by Elias Martin In the 1760s and 70s he spent a total of twelve years in England During this period English landscape art experienced a golden age artists such as Thomas Gainsborough and Richard Wilson strove to capture the typical English nature on canvas They were fascinated by the wild and free landscape and this lead to the emergence of a new landscape tradition that differed radically from the classicistic idealized landscape of southern Europe that Claude Lorrain among others had established This painting shows how strongly Martin had been influenced by his contemporary English colleagues The painting most likely painted upon his return to Sweden in 1780 is an exquisite example of the period s new interest for wild and untamed nature The sprawling pine the rapids and the inhospitable shear cliffs differ markedly from the idyllic or pastoral renditions of nature that up till then had dominated landscape art Have you discovered the people in the picture yet In the gloom to the left of the pine tree a figure can be seen standing in front of a small cabin Here Martin strives to depict the experience of the sublime -
