EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking woodcut print, titled 'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,' was created by the renowned Swiss artist Christoph Maurer in 1630. Maurer's masterful depiction of this biblical scene is based on the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. The image portrays the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, each representing a different aspect of the coming apocalypse or end of the world. The first horseman, riding a white horse, symbolizes conquest and war. The second horseman, on a red horse, represents bloodshed and slaughter. The third horseman, on a black horse, signifies famine, while the fourth horseman, on a pale horse, represents death. Maurer's intricate and detailed woodcut on laid paper showcases the menacing figures of the horsemen, their eyes burning with intensity as they gallop across the scene. The contrast between the white and black areas in this print adds to the cosmic and otherworldly atmosphere of the image. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have long been a popular subject in Christian art, representing the day of judgment and the inevitable end of the world. This print, published in the seventeenth century, is a testament to Maurer's artistic skill and the enduring power of religious iconography.
