AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" large plate published in 1496/98
This engraving represents the four horsemen of the Apocalypse according to the vision of St. John:
the first on the right, with a bow in his hand, symbolizes the plague;
the second, with the unsheathed sword, symbolizes war;
the third, with the empty scales, symbolizes famine;
the last one is death and below him we see a king in the jaws of Hades along with some corpses.
“I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals. I looked and saw a white horse. Its rider held a bow in his hand. God gave him a crown, a symbol of triumph, and he went from one victory to another, always victorious.
When God opened the second seal, another horse stood forth, a flaming red horse; and God gave its rider a great sword and power to destroy peace from the earth.
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I looked, and behold, a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.”
Finally, “I looked, and behold, a corpse-colored horse. Its rider was named Death, and an army of the dead was with him” (Revelation 6:1-8).
Splendid work by what is called 'Dürer's most memorable image,' which has become a source of inspiration for depictions of war and destruction throughout the history of Western art.
IV/15
Meder, 167; Bartsch, VII.128.64; Schoch, II.115.
Lithographic print on paper, datable to the first half of the 20th century. Good condition with small margins beyond the woodblock impression.
