EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful woodcut titled "Scene from the Apocalypse, The Four Angels holding the winds". Created in 1511 by Albrecht Dürer, a renowned German artist of the Northern Renaissance, this artwork measures 39.2x28.3 cm and is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts four majestic angels with wings outstretched, each holding one of the winds at bay. In the center stands St. John the Evangelist, an apostle who receives divine revelations. With his hands raised towards heaven and a look of awe on his face, he symbolizes humanity's connection to God during tumultuous times. Dürer's attention to detail is evident in every element of this woodcut: from intricate feather patterns on angelic wings to finely etched swords and crosses carried by these celestial beings. The monogram "b 66" can be seen at the bottom corner of the print. This scene represents a pivotal moment described in Revelation 7:1-4 when angels are instructed not to release destructive winds until God's servants have been sealed on their foreheads as a mark of protection. Through this remarkable artwork captured beautifully in this photograph, viewers are transported into an apocalyptic world where heavenly forces clash with earthly chaos—a testament to Dürer's masterful storytelling ability within his artistry.
