Image description

Title-page to the 1511 Latin edition of the Apocalypse with the beginning of the letterpress text (Incipit Prologus...) on the reverse. For this edition Dürer added the woodcut image of the Virgin and Saint John to the calligraphic title of the 1498 Latin edition, so that it matched Dürer's two other large books issued at the same time, The Large Passion and The Life of the Virgin. The saint is at work on his text with the eagle that was his only companion on Patmos, the island where he was exiled toward the end of his life. The title, which translates as 'Apocalypse with Figures', differs slightly from the title of the 1498 German edition which was called 'The Secret Revelation of John'.
