Part of the Great British Art Debate, John Martin: Heaven & Hell is the first major exhibition of the paintings by 19th century artist John Martin for more than 40 years. His spectacular, apocalyptic works are displayed at the Laing, capturing the drama and impact which they had when they were originally displayed.
