Painting Description
"The Beast with the Horns Like a Lamb" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his "Apocalypse" series, which was first published in 1498. This series of fifteen woodcuts is based on the Book of Revelation by John the Apostle and illustrates various scenes from the apocalyptic narrative. Dürer's work on the Apocalypse series is notable for its intricate detail, expressive figures, and innovative composition, which contributed to the artist's reputation as one of the foremost printmakers of his time.
In "The Beast with the Horns Like a Lamb," Dürer depicts Revelation 13:11, where John describes a second beast that rises from the earth with two horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon. This image is rich in symbolic meaning, with the beast often interpreted as representing false prophets or the antichrist, seducing the faithful with a semblance of innocence while hiding a more sinister nature. Dürer's interpretation of this biblical scene is characterized by his masterful use of line and contrast, as well as his ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual art.
The woodcut is part of a larger narrative that Dürer developed through the "Apocalypse" series, which was groundbreaking in its direct appeal to a wide audience, bypassing the traditional Latin texts that were accessible only to the educated elite. The series was also one of the first major works that Dürer produced as an independent artist, and it played a significant role in establishing his fame both within and beyond the borders of the Holy Roman Empire.
As with other works in the series, "The Beast with the Horns Like a Lamb" reflects Dürer's technical skill and his engagement with the humanist ideas of his time, which sought to reconcile classical and Christian thought. The woodcut is not only a testament to Dürer's artistic genius but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the religious and philosophical concerns of the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
