Apocalyptic Book Of Revelation Monogram Revelations Wing Winged Xylograph Halo Northern Renaissance
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene from the Apocalypse, featuring St. John devouring the Book. Created in 1511 by Albrecht Dürer, this woodcut masterpiece measures 39.2x28.1 cm and is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. In this striking image, we see St. John depicted as an evangelist and apostle with divine significance. With wings spread wide behind him, he stands before an altar adorned with columns while engulfed in flames of apocalyptic intensity. His face radiates determination as he devours the sacred book of revelation. The artist's attention to detail is evident through every element captured within this composition; from St. John's haloed head to the intricate monogram at the bottom of the woodcut (b 70). The Northern Renaissance style shines through Dürer's masterful use of xylography to create depth and texture. This photograph not only showcases Dürer's artistic brilliance but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with biblical narratives and our eternal quest for spiritual enlightenment amidst chaos and destruction.
