"The Revelation of St John: 6. Four Angels Staying the Winds and Signing the Chosen" is a woodcut by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his "Apocalypse" series in 1498. This series, which includes 15 woodcuts, illustrates the Book of Revelation by John the Apostle, also known as the Apocalypse, the final book of the New Testament. Dürer's work on the Apocalypse series is considered one of the seminal moments in the history of printmaking, as it was one of the first instances of an artist creating a series of prints to illustrate a narrative.

The woodcut depicts a scene from Revelation 7:1-3, where four angels are shown holding back the winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land, the sea, or any tree. Another angel ascends from the rising sun, carrying the seal of the living God, and he calls out to the four angels to not harm the earth until the servants of God have been marked with the seal on their foreheads.

Dürer's interpretation of this biblical scene is rich with detail and symbolism, reflecting both the text's apocalyptic fervor and the artist's own intricate style. The woodcut is notable for its dramatic composition and the way it conveys the intensity of the apocalyptic vision. Dürer's skill in woodcut technique is evident in the fine lines and complex patterns that bring texture and depth to the image, making it a powerful example of Northern Renaissance art.

As part of the larger "Apocalypse" series, "The Revelation of St John: 6. Four Angels Staying the Winds and Signing the Chosen" played a significant role in the spread of Dürer's fame across Europe and contributed to the popularization of the woodcut as a form of artistic expression. The series was published in book form, with Latin text accompanying the images, and later editions were also produced with German text, making the work accessible to a broader audience. The impact of Dürer's "Apocalypse" series on the visual arts and on the dissemination of biblical imagery during the Renaissance period cannot be overstated, and this particular woodcut stands as a testament to the artist's visionary approach to the medium.
