Get swept up by The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in this amazing new animation. Created in around 1497-8, the detailed design by German master Albrecht Dürer was painstakingly carved into a woodblock, before being printed onto paper.
The Four Horsemen are figures from the Bible’s Book of Revelation, who symbolize the evils to come at the end of the world: conquest, war, famine and plague.
In this dramatic rendition, brought to life by @a.r.visual, unfortunate mortals are trampled beneath the hooves of horses, the ghastly horsemen wield their swords in menace, famine swings his scales as though they were a weapon, and an angel flies overhead, offering comfort above the clamour.
The magnificent work comes from an Important Private American Collection. Bidding is open until December 7. More information is available at the link in bio.
📸 thanks to @a.r.visual for the animation.
