EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Frontispiece, Apocalupsis cum figuris, a remarkable engraving created by Albrecht Durer in 1511. The artwork is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France and is part of Durer's Apocalypse series. Printed in Nuremberg as a Latin edition, this wood engraving features relief work and typographic text on its back. The image depicts an eagle, a powerful bird of prey symbolizing strength and majesty. Surrounding the eagle are various birds representing different species found in Germany and Europe. The intricate details of these avian creatures highlight Durer's mastery as an engraver. Adding to the composition's significance are religious elements such as halos or aureoles adorning some of the figures present. This suggests that they may be biblical characters or saints from Christian tradition. Notably, Saint John the Evangelist takes center stage within this elaborate frontispiece. Durer's meticulous craftsmanship brings life to each line and contour, making this print a testament to his artistic prowess during the 16th century. Its inclusion in L'Europe et Gutenberg Exposition BnF Paris 2023 reflects its enduring relevance and timeless appeal. As we admire this photo print, we are transported back through time to appreciate both Durer's technical skill and his ability to convey profound themes through artistry.
