This engraving, titled "Christ mounted on a white Horse, from the Apocalypse", was created by the French artist Jean Duvet between 1480 and 1570. The composition depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, in which Christ, wearing a crown and riding a white horse, leads an army of angels against the forces of evil. The highly detailed, intricate work features a dramatic battle scene with numerous figures, both human and angelic, engaged in fierce combat. Duvet's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and movement, capturing the intensity and urgency of the apocalyptic vision. This print is considered a significant work of Northern Renaissance art, known for its captivating portrayal of religious narratives and its skillful execution.
