The Apocalypse by Albrecht Dürer (1498)

Created in 1498, The Apocalypse is the first major woodcut series published by Albrecht Dürer, the German Renaissance master. It consists of 15 powerful woodcuts illustrating the prophetic visions of the Book of Revelation.

At a time of religious upheaval and apocalyptic fears, Dürer presented a bold and dramatic interpretation of the end times, blending Christian symbolism with Gothic intensity and unmatched technical skill. From the breaking of the seals to the fall of Babylon, each scene is a masterclass in narrative and composition.

Among the most famous images is The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, an allegory of War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death — as visually arresting today as it was in the 15th century.
