Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, or The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is a renownedcut by the German artist Albrechtürer, produced in circa 1497–1498. The artwork is one of fifteen woodcuts that form part of Dürer's Apocalypse series, which was his first published work and produced during a time of significant religious discord in Europe, anticipating the Protestant Reformation.

The image depicts, from the Book of Revelation, the four apocalyptic riders representing Conquest (or Pestilence), War, Famine, and Death. rider fulfills a particular role and is a symbol of destruction, thus demonstrating the fatalistic and tumultuous world view of the Late Middle Ages. From left to right, they can be interpreted as: a conqueror on a white horse, carrying a bow; a warrior on a red horse, wielding a sword; a merchant on a black horse, holding a balance; and a skeletal figure on a 'pale' horse, signifying Death.

The work displays Dürer's innovative use of line to denote texture and create a dramatic narrative. Riding out from clouds of turmoil, the riders move dynamically across the picture plane. Despite the inherent horror in the subject matter, Dürer's depiction of the Four Horsemen is highly detailed and executed with a level of finesse and graphic energy that exemplifies his masterful woodcut technique.

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter serves as one of Dürer's seminal works and is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, evidencing the work's enduring appeal and historical significance. The print was critical in establishing Dürer's reputation and influence as a leading artist of the Northern Renaissance.
