Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse
Medium used:
Woodcut
Project for:
School
This project was for Art History. The assignment was to choose from a large variety of historical images ranging from 1100 C.E to the present times and recreate that image. The recreation of the image was restricted by keeping as close as possible to how the art work was made in the past.
I chose to recreate the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Albrecht Dürer. This was my first time doing a woodcut and print. Part of the project required us to research the techniques that would have been used and create a project proposal for how we would recreate the piece. This research time helped equip me with the knowledge of what materials and tools I would need as well as the techniques to use. I ended up with a product that may not quite match the original artwork but has a style and feel that I am proud of.
