The Last Man print navy Pepper glasses caseA reproduction of The Last Man by John Martin (1789 1854) from Walker Art Gallery collection. Martin shows an old man gesturing toward a deserted city, the bodies of a woman and child at his feet. His depiction of such extreme isolation instills terror and dread through scale and dramatic colour contrast. Victorian viewers would have been more familiar with the biblical narrative. Perhaps today it speaks more broadly of a timeless dread of isolation.
