The End of the World commonly known as The Great Day of His Wrath is an 1851–1853 oil painting on canvas by the English painter John Martin. According to Frances Carey the painting shows the destruction of Babylon and the material world by natural cataclysm. This painting Frances Carey holds is a response to the emerging industrial scene of London as a metropolis in the early nineteenth century and the original growth of the Babylon civilisation and its final destruction.
