Painting Description
"The Beast with Two Horns Like a Lamb" is a woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his series "The Apocalypse," which was first published in 1498. This series, also known as "The Revelation of St. John," comprises a set of fifteen woodcuts that illustrate the Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament. Dürer's work on "The Apocalypse" is considered one of the seminal achievements in the history of printmaking, showcasing his technical skill and innovative approach to visual narrative.
The woodcut "The Beast with Two Horns Like a Lamb" specifically depicts the second beast from Revelation 13:11, which is described as having two horns like a lamb but speaking like a dragon. This beast, often interpreted as a symbol of false prophets or the antichrist, is shown exercising authority on behalf of the first beast and deceiving the inhabitants of Earth through miraculous signs.
Dürer's representation of this biblical scene is notable for its dramatic composition and intricate detail, characteristics that are emblematic of his work during this period. The woodcut features a range of contrasting elements, from the menacing presence of the beast to the intricate expressions of the figures around it, all rendered with a masterful use of line and texture that was groundbreaking for the time.
As part of "The Apocalypse" series, "The Beast with Two Horns Like a Lamb" reflects the tumultuous religious and social climate of late 15th-century Europe, a time when apocalyptic thinking was prevalent. Dürer's works were widely disseminated due to the advent of the printing press, allowing for his interpretations of these eschatological themes to reach a broad audience and exert significant influence on the visual arts.
Today, "The Beast with Two Horns Like a Lamb" is held in high regard both as a work of art and as a historical artifact, offering insight into the religious imagination of the Renaissance and the early modern period. It remains an important subject of study for art historians, theologians, and scholars of printmaking, and is preserved in various collections around the world, including notable museums and libraries.
