EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Dürer's masterpiece, "Revelation of St. John: The Four Destroying Angels" created in 1511. As one of the most renowned German artists of the Renaissance period, Dürer's woodcut technique beautifully captures the intensity and drama of this biblical scene. In this artwork, four powerful angels are depicted as they unleash destruction upon the earth, fulfilling their divine mission from the Book of Revelation. With intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship, Dürer skillfully conveys a sense of awe and terror through his use of light and shadow. The composition is masterfully balanced with each angel positioned strategically to create a dynamic visual impact. Their wings spread wide, exuding strength and authority while their expressions reveal both determination and sorrow for what must be done.
