Painting Description
"Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand" (German: "Marter der Zehntausend") is a renowned woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1496. This work is one of the earliest and most ambitious woodcuts by Dürer, who was a master printmaker, painter, and theorist of the German Renaissance. The woodcut depicts the legendary massacre of ten thousand Christian soldiers on Mount Ararat, as ordered by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, a tale that was popular in medieval Christian lore.
The woodcut is notable for its complex composition, featuring a multitude of figures and a dramatic landscape that showcases Dürer's skill in rendering both human anatomy and the natural world. The scene is filled with various acts of martyrdom and brutality, with the Christians being subjected to a range of tortures and executions, while angels from above gather the souls of the martyrs.
Dürer's "Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It reflects the themes of persecution and martyrdom that were resonant in Europe at the time, particularly in light of the ongoing struggles between Christians and the Ottoman Empire. The woodcut also exemplifies the influence of Italian Renaissance art on Dürer, who had traveled to Italy and was deeply impressed by the work of artists such as Andrea Mantegna.
The woodcut measures approximately 39.5 cm × 28.4 cm and is part of a series of large prints that Dürer produced during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, which were instrumental in establishing his reputation across Europe. "Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand" is held in various collections and remains an important example of Dürer's early work and of the woodcut medium's potential for narrative and expressive depth.
