Fallen Angels in Hell is a 1841 oil by John Martin, a British Romanticism work, depicting Hell, held at National Gallery.
The painting depicts a dark and fiery scene, with fallen angels scattered throughout. The sky is filled with lightning and smoke, while the ground is covered in flames and rocks. In the distance, a large structure can be seen, possibly a castle or a temple. The painting's use of color and light creates a dramatic and intense atmosphere, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures. The fallen angels are depicted in various poses, some standing, others lying on the ground. This painting is reminiscent of the works of John Martin, who was known for his dramatic and apocalyptic scenes.
John Martin (19 July 1789 – 17 February 1854) was an English Romanticist painter, engraver, and illustrator.
