This October Sanders of Oxford presents a collection of spectacular and visionary prints. Featuring depictions of the final days, extreme natural events, divine wrath and human disaster by artists such as John Martin, Gustave Doré, and Francis Danby.

Every culture has its own rendering of the apocalypse. In our lifetime, concepts such as Timewave Zero and the Photon Belt exist on the margins of society, but for the first few decades of the nineteenth-century, a unique phenomenon existed whereby eschatological notions were central to culture and rife within the arts. It was a period of economic, scientific and industrial transition, beset by the upheaval of revolution and war. Edmund Burke’s theories of the Sublime still endured and the popularity of millenarianism sharply rose. The apocalypse became a widespread allegory with which to explain the turbulent climate of the time. The end of the world was trumpeted in tracts and newspapers. It was depicted in paintings and prints.
