The Apocalypse and the shape of things to come

by

"The Book of Revelation, with its vision of an apocalypse that is both destructive and redemptive, has provided a rich vein of imagery which remains a force in contemporary culture. This book examines the depiction of the Apocalypse in the visual arts over nearly 1,000 years. After the great medieval manuscript cycles, the pivotal point in the development of the pictorial tradition was Durer's famous set of woodcuts, published in 1498.

Apocalyptic imagery was quickly exploited for propaganda and satire by artists such as James Gillray, while Gillray's contemporary William Blake used it as part of a personal mythology that pervaded every aspect of his work."--BOOK JACKET.
