John Martin’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
John Martin was born in the Year of the Rooster. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rooster are practical, resourceful, observant, analytical, straightforward, trusting, honest, perfectionists, neat and conservative. Compatible with Ox or Snake.
Romantic Painter and engraver whose works included "The Seventh Plague of Egypt" and "The Great Day of His Wrath," which was part of his "The Last Judgment" trilogy of paintings.
He became a painting apprentice of Boniface Musso in 1806. He needed additional income, so he started painting sepia watercolours. His first attempt at being featured in the Royal Academy came in 1810, but the Academy rejected it.
He developed engineering plans for the improvement of London's railway and sewers, including the Thames embankment.
He was born in a one-room family cottage to former fencing master, Fenwick Martin. His brother william became an Inventor, his brother Richard a Doctor, and his brother Jonathan a rather infamous preacher. He had six children with his wife, Susan Martin.
