The Four Horsemen, from The Apocalypse (1498)
Engraving by Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528)
In 1498 Dürer published a book illustrating the Revelation of John, the last book of the New Testament. The images were unique in their large scale, breadth of concept, and unity of design — the first book to be both published and illustrated by the artist.
Here, Dürer suggested the vigorous momentum of the horsemen through the windblown clothing of the riders, the windswept clouds, and the figures trampled beneath the hooves of the approaching horses. The finest impressions were printed without text, like this one.
