Albrecht Dürer's 'Beheading of John the Baptist' is a 1510 woodcut depicting the execution of John the Baptist. The scene is set against a detailed architectural backdrop, showcasing Dürer's mastery of line and dramatic narrative.
This woodcut, titled 'Beheading of John the Baptist', was created by Albrecht Dürer in 1510. Dürer, a German artist of the Northern Renaissance, was a printmaker, painter, engraver, mathematician, and theorist from Nuremberg. His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Renaissance. His vast body of work includes engravings, his preferred techniques in his later prints, altarpieces, portraits and self-portraits, watercolours and books. The woodcut depicts the execution of John the Baptist. Salome stands to the left, holding a platter to receive John's head. The executioner, sword in hand, presents the severed head to her. The scene is set against a detailed architectural backdrop, with buildings and figures in the distance. Dürer's mastery of line is evident in the fine details and textures throughout the composition. The print is a powerful example of Dürer's skill in capturing dramatic narratives and human emotion.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Albrecht Dürer
Drew a rhinoceros he had never seen that remained the standard image for three centuries, and painted himself in the pose of Christ at twenty-eight.
