John Martin’s Pandemonium (1841) illustrates a pivotal moment from John Milton’s Paradise Lost. In the painting, Satan stands alone on a rocky outcrop, surveying the capital of Hell that he has just summoned into existence.
Most imagine Hell as a realm of pure chaos, filled only with fire and suffering. However, Martin depicts something far more terrifying: Order. The endless rows of pillars and the massive, glowing architecture reveal that Satan has not merely accepted his punishment. Instead, he has built a rival empire to challenge Heaven itself a "golden cage" of eternal defiance.
The painting captures the sheer scale of the underworld, with rivers of lava flowing beneath a heavy, roofed sky that blocks out all celestial light. Martin, a master of the Romantic style, used this immense scale to show that this is not just a prison for the damned, but a kingdom for the fallen.
