The Beast With Two Horns Like A Lamb (b. 74; M., Holl. 175)
This powerful woodcut by Albrecht Dürer depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, rendered with the artist's characteristic mastery of line and dramatic composition. Printed circa 1496-97 and published in the landmark German text edition of 1498, this very good impression showcases exceptional contrasts and a striking sense of three-dimensionality. The work exemplifies Dürer's revolutionary approach to the woodcut medium, elevating it to a level of technical sophistication and expressive intensity rarely seen before in printmaking.
