John Martin's "Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still upon Gibeon" depicts a dramatic scene from the Book of Joshua in the Bible. The painting, executed in the Romantic style, features a vast landscape dominated by a towering mountain range and a sprawling city. Joshua, standing on a hilltop, raises his hand towards the sky, commanding the sun to halt its course. The scene is rendered with dramatic lighting, with a bright light emanating from the sky above. The artwork was created by John Martin, a prominent English painter known for his depictions of biblical scenes and landscapes.
