A 1511 woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, 'Herodias Receiving the Head of John the Baptist' depicts the biblical scene with precise linework and attention to detail, showcasing Dürer's mastery of printmaking.
This woodcut, created by Albrecht Dürer in 1511, depicts the biblical scene of Herodias receiving the head of John the Baptist. Dürer, a leading artist of the Northern Renaissance, was celebrated for his skill in printmaking, and this work exemplifies his mastery of the woodcut technique. The scene is set indoors, with Herodias seated at a table, attended by servants. Salome presents the severed head of John the Baptist on a platter. Herod sits to the right, observing the event. The composition is characterised by its precise linework and attention to detail, typical of Dürer's style. The artist uses hatching and cross-hatching to create tonal variations and a sense of depth. The architectural setting and the figures' costumes reflect the artistic conventions of the period. The print is part of a series of woodcuts illustrating the life of John the Baptist, showcasing Dürer's ability to convey complex narratives through the medium of printmaking. The work demonstrates the artist's engagement with religious themes and his technical skill in rendering detailed scenes.

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.
