I really like Albrecht Durer's woodcuts. In 1996 I moved into an apartment in Philadelphia and found a print of The Four Riders of The Apocalypse in my closet, left behind by someone. I had never seen it before but instantly liked it. Here is an excellent overview of Durer's series The Revelation of St John (which includes The Four Riders). Link
Albrecht Dürer is considered one of the greatest printmakers of all time. Working with both woodcuts and engravings, he attained a level of detail that is virtually unsurpassed. Here are four of his most well-known prints.
The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse was part of a volume of woodcuts illustrative of the Apocalypse published by Dürer in 1498. It is considered to represent Dürer's favorable view of the Reformation, with Babylon standing for Rome.
