well, where in the internet can i find information on them? i tried looking in the internet using some search engines, and couldn't believe that there isn't that much info. i'm planning to integrate them to the tarot deck i'm currently creating. :)

Hi blue, Did you try a search just with "apocalypse" as key word? When I am not mistaken there was a very picture of them by A. Dürer. My great-granny had a Dürer bible and this pic looked stunning.

My great-granny had a Dürer bible and this pic looked stunning. well, saw the pic of Dürer's creation, but also want some info on these horsemen, like what their names are (and i don't mean: famine, death, war and plague), their origins, etc. but thanks for your suggesytion. i'll try it nonetheless. :)

you might also try reading the Book Revelations in the Christian new testament. that's their basic origin.
