"Martyrdom of St. John" is a notable woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his larger body of work known as the "Apocalypse" series. This series, completed around 1498, is a set of fifteen woodcuts that illustrate the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine, also known as the Apocalypse. The "Martyrdom of St. John" specifically depicts the moment described in the biblical text where Saint John the Evangelist is plunged into a cauldron of boiling oil, an event traditionally believed to have occurred at the Latin Gate in Rome.

Dürer's woodcut stands out for its intricate detail and the dramatic intensity of the scene. The work showcases Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium, his skillful use of line to create texture and depth, and his ability to convey complex narratives through imagery. The composition is carefully structured to guide the viewer's eye towards the central figure of St. John, who is depicted with a calm demeanor amidst the chaos of his attempted execution, thus highlighting his divine protection and steadfast faith.

The "Martyrdom of St. John" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It reflects the religious turmoil and apocalyptic fervor of the late 15th century, a time when Europe was on the cusp of the Reformation. Dürer's "Apocalypse" series, including this woodcut, was widely disseminated and had a profound impact on the visual culture of the period, influencing both religious art and the broader visual representation of the Book of Revelation.

As part of the "Apocalypse" series, the "Martyrdom of St. John" contributed to Albrecht Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of the Northern Renaissance and remains an important work for the study of Renaissance art and the history of printmaking.
