Das Tier mit den Lammshörnern

Albrecht Dürer, 1498

This is a drawing of an apocalyptic vision. The image features intricate and detailed line work depicting a scene with celestial and monstrous elements. In the upper section, there is a figure seated on clouds, adorned with a crown and surrounded by rays, accompanied by ethereal winged beings. Alongside them, a figure seems suspended at the edge of the frame. Below, ominous clouds release rain and a multi-headed beast with seven crowned heads and a lion-like body occupies the lower space, while various figures in robes gather. The line work creates contrasts and a sense of depth within the fantastical scene.
