Painting Description
"St. John Beholding the Seven Candelabra" is a woodcut print by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the late 15th or early 16th century. This work is part of a series of woodcuts known as the "Apocalypse" series, which Dürer produced around 1496–1498. The series illustrates the Book of Revelation by John the Apostle and was Dürer's first major print project, which established his reputation as one of the foremost printmakers of his time.
The woodcut depicts a scene from Revelation 1:12–13, where John turns to see the voice that speaks to him and beholds seven golden candlesticks, among which stands the Son of Man, interpreted as Jesus Christ, clothed in a garment reaching to the feet and girt about the chest with a golden girdle. Dürer's representation of this biblical vision is notable for its intricate detail, dramatic use of line, and the interplay of light and shadow, which was innovative for woodcut prints of this period.
In "St. John Beholding the Seven Candelabra," Dürer showcases his skill in conveying complex theological concepts through visual art. The print is characterized by its expressive figures and the meticulous rendering of the candelabra, which are imbued with symbolic meaning. The work reflects the artist's deep engagement with religious themes and his ability to translate scriptural text into compelling imagery.
As with many of Dürer's prints, "St. John Beholding the Seven Candelabra" was widely disseminated, contributing to the spread of the artist's fame beyond his native Germany. The "Apocalypse" series, including this print, played a significant role in the development of the woodcut medium in Northern Europe and influenced subsequent generations of artists. The series is considered a masterpiece of early printmaking and a seminal work in the history of art.
Dürer's "St. John Beholding the Seven Candelabra" remains an important work for its artistic innovation, its impact on the printmaking tradition, and its interpretation of one of the most enigmatic and visually compelling books of the New Testament.
