Painting Description
"The Beast With The Two Horns Like A Lamb" (b.74; M., Holl.175) is an enigmatic and compelling engraving by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Created in 1498, this work is part of Dürer's celebrated series of fifteen woodcuts known as the "Apocalypse," which visually narrates the Book of Revelation from the New Testament. Dürer's "Apocalypse" series is notable for its intricate detail, dramatic intensity, and profound theological symbolism, and "The Beast With The Two Horns Like A Lamb" stands out as a particularly striking example of these qualities.
In this engraving, Dürer masterfully depicts the apocalyptic vision described in Revelation 13:11-18, where a beast with two horns like a lamb emerges, speaking like a dragon and exercising the authority of the first beast. The image is rich with iconographic elements that reflect the text's ominous and prophetic nature. The beast, with its lamb-like horns, symbolizes deceptive innocence, while its dragon-like voice represents malevolent power and deceit. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the beast's texture and the surrounding landscape, which adds to the overall sense of foreboding and divine judgment.
Dürer's work is not merely an illustration but a profound interpretation of the biblical text, inviting viewers to contemplate the themes of good versus evil, divine justice, and the ultimate triumph of righteousness. The engraving's composition, with its dynamic lines and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, showcases Dürer's exceptional skill in printmaking and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.
"The Beast With The Two Horns Like A Lamb" has been widely studied and admired for its artistic and theological significance. It reflects Dürer's deep engagement with the religious and intellectual currents of his time, as well as his innovative approach to the medium of engraving. Today, this work continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is considered a masterpiece of Renaissance art, exemplifying Dürer's genius and his enduring impact on the history of art.
