Painting Description
"The Beast with Two Horns" (Bartsch WC 74) is a woodcut print by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the early 16th century. This work is part of Dürer's "Apocalypse" series, which consists of fifteen woodcuts illustrating the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine. The series, first published in 1498, is considered one of Dürer's seminal works and reflects the artist's masterful handling of the woodcut medium.
The image depicts the apocalyptic vision of the second beast as described in Revelation 13:11, which is said to have "two horns like a lamb" and speaks "as a dragon." Dürer's interpretation of this biblical creature is rich in symbolic detail and dramatic intensity. The beast is shown with a lamb's horns, yet its menacing presence and the activities surrounding it convey the sinister nature of its speech and the deception it represents.
Dürer's "The Beast with Two Horns" stands out for its intricate line work and the dynamic composition that characterizes the "Apocalypse" series. The artist's use of contrast between light and dark, as well as the meticulous rendering of figures and textures, demonstrates his technical prowess and innovative approach to the woodcut medium. This print, like others in the series, was influential in disseminating Dürer's work throughout Europe and contributed to the development of the Northern Renaissance.
The "Apocalypse" series, including "The Beast with Two Horns," was groundbreaking in that it was one of the first major printed works produced by an artist for a wide audience, rather than for a private patron. This shift marked a significant moment in the history of art, where the artist began to engage directly with the market and a broader public.
Today, "The Beast with Two Horns" is held in various collections around the world and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its role in the history of printmaking. It remains a testament to Albrecht Dürer's enduring legacy as one of the most influential artists of his time.
