"The Reign of Antichrist" is a notable woodcut illustration from the Liber Chronicarum, also known as the Nuremberg Chronicle, which was published in 1493. This work is attributed to Michael Wolgemut, who was Albrecht Dürer's tutor, and possibly his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. The Nuremberg Chronicle is an early printed book and one of the most richly illustrated works of the 15th century, documenting the history of the world as understood from a late medieval perspective. "The Reign of Antichrist" stands out as a vivid depiction of the period of turmoil and chaos that was expected to precede the Second Coming of Christ, according to Christian eschatology.

The illustration was later featured and analyzed in "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance," written and engraved by Paul Lacroix in 1878. Lacroix, a prolific 19th-century French author, also known by his pseudonym Bibliophile Jacob, was known for his works on the history of culture, art, and society. His inclusion of Wolgemut's work underscores its historical and artistic significance, bridging medieval and Renaissance depictions of religious themes with the scholarly pursuits of the 19th century.

Wolgemut's illustration captures the essence of the Antichrist legend by portraying various scenes of the Antichrist's life and his influence on the world. The detailed woodcut features the Antichrist performing miracles, preaching to his followers, and ultimately being overthrown, reflecting the complex narrative of apocalyptic expectations prevalent in medieval Christian thought. This piece not only serves as a testament to the artistic and technical skills of late 15th-century woodcut artists but also provides insight into the societal and religious concerns of the time.

"The Reign of Antichrist" remains a significant work for scholars of art history, theology, and medieval studies, offering a window into the ways in which end-times narratives shaped cultural and artistic expressions during the transition from the medieval period to the Renaissance.
