"Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand" is a renowned woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1496. This work, catalogued as Bartsch 117 and Meder/Hollstein 218, is part of Dürer's prolific body of graphic art, which played a significant role in the development of the Northern Renaissance. The woodcut depicts the legendary massacre of ten thousand Christian soldiers on Mount Ararat, as ordered by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. This event was said to have occurred in the 4th century and became a popular subject in Christian art due to its dramatic and emotive potential.

Dürer's interpretation of the scene is notable for its intricate detail and the dynamic arrangement of figures, which showcases his mastery of the woodcut medium. The composition is crowded with a multitude of figures, both executioners and martyrs, amidst a rugged landscape that enhances the chaotic and violent atmosphere of the scene. The work reflects Dürer's interest in human emotion and the expressive possibilities of line, which he manipulates to create texture, depth, and movement.

The "Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand" stands as a testament to Dürer's technical skill and his ability to convey complex narratives through the woodcut medium. It also exemplifies the artist's engagement with religious themes and his capacity to infuse traditional subjects with a new sense of drama and intensity. This woodcut, along with others by Dürer, contributed to the spread of the Renaissance style across Europe and solidified his reputation as one of the most important and innovative printmakers of his time.
