"The Revelation of St John: 12. The Sea Monster and the Beast with the Lamb's Horn" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his "Apocalypse" series in 1498. This series, also known as "The Apocalypse with Pictures," is a set of fifteen woodcuts that illustrate the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine, the last book of the New Testament. Dürer's work on the Apocalypse series is considered one of the seminal moments in the history of printmaking, showcasing his innovative approach to woodcut design and his masterful ability to convey complex theological narratives through visual art.

The woodcut in question, "The Sea Monster and the Beast with the Lamb's Horn," depicts imagery from Revelation 13, where John describes two beasts that rise, one from the sea and another from the earth, to wield power and deceive the inhabitants of the world. Dürer's interpretation of this vision is rich with symbolic detail and dramatic intensity. The sea monster, often interpreted as the Antichrist, is shown emerging from turbulent waters, while the beast with the lamb's horn, symbolizing false prophets, appears on land. The intricate details of the woodcut, from the expressive faces of the figures to the tumultuous environment they inhabit, reflect Dürer's skill in translating the apocalyptic text into a compelling visual form.

Dürer's "The Revelation of St John: 12. The Sea Monster and the Beast with the Lamb's Horn" is not only a testament to his artistic genius but also an important cultural artifact from the early period of the Protestant Reformation. The work's dissemination and popularity were enhanced by the advent of the printing press, allowing Dürer's apocalyptic visions to reach a wide audience and exert influence on the visual language of the Reformation. Today, the woodcut is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike and is often studied for its iconographic significance, technical mastery, and its role in the broader context of Northern Renaissance art.
