De vier ruiters van de apocalyps 1629 - 1740

"De vier ruiters van de apocalyps," a woodcut print by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, depicts the four horsemen of the apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. This 17th-century artwork is a detailed and dramatic illustration of the biblical story, with the four riders mounted on their horses and wielding their respective symbols: a bow, a sword, a balance scale, and death. The print was likely part of a series of illustrations of the Book of Revelation, intended to educate and inspire religious viewers. The detailed depiction of the horsemen and their steeds, along with the dynamic composition, makes this print a compelling example of 17th-century Dutch religious art.
