The Apocalypse: Christ Mounted on a White Horse, 1546-1556. Creator: Jean Duvet (French
The Apocalypse: Christ Mounted on a White Horse, 1546-1556. This print is part of a bound volume of works illustrating the a narrative of the Apocalypse, taken from the Revelation of Saint John in the Bible. The 23 engravings in the series occupied the artist for a number of years and represent his greatest artistic achievement. The museums volume is one of only seven known complete sets. Jean Duvet was one of the first major printmakers in France and one of the most original artists of the 1500s. Although he worked mostly in the provincial city of Langres, he became aware of Italian art through the circulation of prints--notably those of Marcantonio Raimondi. His solidly modeled human figures reflect the influence of the Italian High Renaissance. Duvet, however, developed an idiosyncratic, highly artificial style with crowded compositions that ignore rational space in favor of ornamental surface patterns

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Duvet's masterpiece, "The Apocalypse: Christ Mounted on a White Horse" created between 1546 and 1556. As part of a bound volume illustrating the narrative of the Apocalypse from the Revelation of Saint John in the Bible, this particular print is an exceptional representation of Duvet's artistic brilliance. Comprising 23 engravings that occupied the artist for several years, this series stands as his greatest achievement. The museum proudly possesses one of only seven complete sets known to exist today. Jean Duvet, a prominent French printmaker and one of the most innovative artists during the 16th century, primarily worked in Langres but was influenced by Italian art through circulating prints like those by Marcantonio Raimondi. His figures are solidly modeled with influences from the Italian High Renaissance; however, he developed a distinct style characterized by crowded compositions that disregard rational space in favor of ornamental surface patterns. This print captures every intricate detail and nuance present in Duvet's work, allowing viewers to appreciate his unique approach to depicting biblical scenes. It serves as a testament to both his technical skill and imaginative vision. Presented by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, this photograph preserves not only Duvet's legacy but also offers us an opportunity to delve into the rich history and evolution of art during this period.
