D’aprés an woodcut by Albrecht Dürer 1947/48

“The greatest printmaking achievement of Dürer’s early years was The Apocalypse, a set of 15 woodcuts on the revelations of St John. Telling the story of the end of the world and the coming of the Kingdom of God, this series of large prints displays great imagination and power. The famous series influenced the later treatment of the subject in northern Europe, especially France.”
