EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print, titled 'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,' was published by Christoph Maurer in the year 1630. The image is a powerful depiction of the biblical concept of the Apocalypse, derived from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are depicted riding their horses, each representing a different aspect of the end times. The first rider, dressed in red, is War; the second, in black, is Famine; the third, in yellow, is Pestilence; and the fourth, in pale green, is Death. The skeletal figure of Death, riding a white horse, is often considered the most terrifying of the Four Horsemen. This print is a significant work of 17th-century art, showcasing the intricate detail and masterful technique of the time. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of religious themes in art and the power of imagery to evoke strong emotions. This print is now part of the prestigious collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
