four riders of the Apocalyps, one more
My first encounter with ‘apocalyptic riders’ happened some 40+ years ago when i had to study a Hans Memling painting for a school project. I read the full Book of Revelation by St-John and could observe how full of detail Memling’s paintings are including those four riders but i also noticed how incomprehensible and therefore unimportant these revelations are…. That painting is on display close to where these sculptures stand. Highly recommended pieces of art, both!
