"The Revelation of St John: 2. St John's Vision of Christ and the Seven Candlesticks" is a woodcut by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, part of his larger series "The Apocalypse," which he completed in 1498. This series, also known as "The Apocalypse with Pictures," comprises fifteen woodcuts illustrating the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine and is considered one of Dürer's seminal works, showcasing his masterful blend of intricate detail and expressive imagery.

In this particular woodcut, Dürer depicts the vision of the Apostle John, as described in Revelation 1:12-16. The scene captures the moment when John turns to see the voice that speaks to him and beholds the glorified Christ standing amidst seven golden candlesticks, representing the seven churches of Asia. Christ is portrayed with attributes described in the biblical text, such as a robe reaching to his feet, a golden sash around his chest, and a countenance shining like the sun. In his right hand, he holds seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword extends from his mouth, symbolizing the penetrating power of his word.

Dürer's work is notable for its dramatic composition and the way it conveys the awe-inspiring nature of the vision. The artist's use of line and contrast, along with his attention to detail, creates a vivid and powerful image that captures the viewer's imagination. The woodcut serves not only as a work of art but also as a visual interpretation of a complex theological text, reflecting the religious fervor and apocalyptic concerns of the late 15th century.

As part of "The Apocalypse" series, "The Revelation of St John: 2. St John's Vision of Christ and the Seven Candlesticks" played a significant role in the development of the woodcut as a fine art form in Northern Europe. It also contributed to the spread of Dürer's reputation, as the series was widely disseminated and admired for its artistic innovation and its ability to convey the narrative of the Book of Revelation to a broad audience.
