The Winepress of the Wrath of God, from the Apocalypse 1480 - 1570

"The Winepress of the Wrath of God, from the Apocalypse," is an engraving created by French artist Jean Duvet between 1480 and 1570. This dramatic print depicts the apocalyptic scene of the wrath of God being poured out upon the wicked, as described in the Book of Revelation. It's a testament to Duvet's masterful use of line and detail, capturing the terror and grandeur of the scene through the contorted figures and the swirling clouds. The work is a prime example of Renaissance art in its focus on human anatomy and expression, while still retaining the strong religious themes characteristic of the period. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, remains a striking representation of the power and drama of the biblical apocalypse.
