"St. John Swallowing the Book Presented by an Angel" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his "Apocalypse" series in 1498. This series, which includes 15 woodcuts, illustrates the Book of Revelation by John the Apostle and was Dürer's first major print project, which he published himself. The image depicts a scene from Revelation 10, where an angel gives St. John a small book to eat, symbolizing the internalization and prophetic understanding of the divine message.

In this woodcut, Dürer showcases his mastery of the medium, with intricate lines and dynamic composition that convey the intensity of the apocalyptic vision. The work is notable for its dramatic use of contrast and the meticulous detail that characterizes Dürer's style. The angel is typically shown as a commanding figure, presenting the book to St. John, who appears ready to consume the text, a moment that signifies the bittersweet nature of prophetic knowledge.

As with many of Dürer's works, "St. John Swallowing the Book Presented by an Angel" reflects the artist's deep engagement with theological themes and his interest in the human experience of the divine. The woodcut is also significant for its role in the history of printmaking, as Dürer was a pioneer in treating prints as independent works of art rather than just reproductions of paintings. His "Apocalypse" series was a commercial success and contributed to the spread of Dürer's fame across Europe.

The woodcut is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis for its artistic merit and its reflection of the religious and cultural milieu of the late 15th century. It remains an important example of Albrecht Dürer's contribution to Northern Renaissance art and the development of printmaking as a respected art form.
