Painting Description
"The Beast With 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 engravings known as the "Apocalypse" series, which vividly illustrate scenes from the Book of Revelation. Dürer, who was born in 1471 and died in 1528, is widely regarded as one of the greatest printmakers in the history of art, and his Apocalypse series remains one of his most significant contributions to the visual interpretation of biblical texts.
The engraving "The Beast With Two Horns Like A Lamb" depicts a scene from Revelation 13:11-18, which describes a beast rising from the earth, possessing two horns like a lamb but speaking like a dragon. This beast is often interpreted as a symbol of false prophecy and deceit, embodying the antithesis of the true Lamb of God. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail and his masterful use of line and shading bring a dramatic intensity to the scene, capturing the ominous and foreboding nature of the apocalyptic vision.
In this work, Dürer combines his deep understanding of human anatomy with his skill in rendering intricate textures and forms, creating a composition that is both visually striking and thematically rich. The beast, with its lamb-like horns and dragon-like visage, stands as a powerful symbol of the duality and deception that pervades the apocalyptic narrative. Surrounding the beast are various figures and elements that contribute to the overall sense of chaos and impending doom, characteristic of the Revelation scenes.
Dürer's Apocalypse series, including "The Beast With Two Horns Like A Lamb," was groundbreaking in its time for its technical excellence and its innovative approach to illustrating complex theological themes. The series was widely disseminated and had a profound impact on the visual culture of the period, influencing both contemporary and later artists. Today, Dürer's engravings continue to be studied and admired for their artistic brilliance and their enduring ability to convey the dramatic and often terrifying visions of the Apocalypse.
