Painting Description
"The Beast with the Horns Like a Lamb, from: The Apocalypse" is a woodcut print by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the late 15th century as part of his seminal "Apocalypse" series. This series, also known as "The Revelation of St. John," comprises a set of fifteen woodcuts that were first published in 1498 and illustrate the Book of Revelation by John the Apostle. Dürer's work on the Apocalypse series is notable for its innovative and expressive imagery, which played a significant role in shaping the visual language of the Reformation and the Renaissance.
The woodcut titled "The Beast with the Horns Like a Lamb" depicts the ominous figure described in Revelation 13:11, where John sees a second beast emerging from the earth with two horns like a lamb, yet it speaks like a dragon. This beast is often interpreted as a symbol of false prophets or the antichrist, deceiving the masses with a semblance of innocence while leading them astray.
Dürer's representation of this apocalyptic vision is characterized by his masterful use of line and contrast, which imbues the scene with a dramatic and foreboding atmosphere. The intricate details and the dynamic composition reflect Dürer's skill as both an artist and a craftsman, as well as his deep engagement with the religious and cultural themes of his time.
The "Apocalypse" series, including "The Beast with the Horns Like a Lamb," was groundbreaking in its format as well, being one of the first major printed works to be published in book form by an artist for a wide audience. This not only contributed to the dissemination of Dürer's work across Europe but also established the woodcut as a serious medium for artistic expression. Today, the series is considered a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art and an important precursor to the use of visual media in the service of religious and political ideas.
