I think I've found the 19th century equivalent of Thomas Kinkade.

I got a promotion recently from a company that sells reproductions of famous paintings printed on paper designed to look like canvas. They sent me several freebies, which I think will make for fine day-to-day placements. :-) But one of them was so horrendously overblown and sentimental that I flipped it over to read about the artist.

Which was where I learned about John Martin.

Well, I was meaning that he was wildly successful with people who (like the Pope in the Monty Python skit) "may not know art, but I know what I like" while being universally loathed by all serious artists.
