Adam Listening to the Voice of God the Almighty is a 1825 oil by John Martin, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In this painting, a man stands in a dark forest, his head tilted upwards as if listening to a voice. He is dressed in a simple tunic and has his arms crossed over his chest. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a dramatic contrast between light and dark, with the man's figure illuminated by a faint glow in the background. The trees surrounding him are twisted and gnarled, adding to the sense of mystery and otherworldliness. This painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, where you can explore more works by the artist John Martin.
John Martin (19 July 1789 – 17 February 1854) was an English Romanticist painter, engraver, and illustrator.
