Four riders cut across the world—no space left to escape. Albrecht Dürer’s „The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse“ (1498): sword, scales, death on a skeletal horse, crushing kings and clergy alike. Published by Dürer himself at just 27, this was more than an image—it was a vision of fear around 1500. Dense lines, collapsing space, no horizon. Everything is happening at once, and there’s nowhere to look away. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com
