Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still Upon Gibeon (Joshua: 10: 12-14) ca. 1822 John Martin British The British painter and printmaker John Martin made his reputation with sublime scenes of vast spaces overwhelmed by classical architecture and countless figures. He made this drawing in preparation for the painting that launched his future successes: Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still upon Gibeon (United Grand Lodge of England, London, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1816, reproduced in lithograph and two mezzotints in 1827).
