"The Apocalyptic Woman" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his series "The Apocalypse," which was first published in 1498. This series of fifteen woodcuts is based on the Book of Revelation by John the Apostle and represents a visionary narrative of the end of the world and the battle between good and evil. "The Apocalyptic Woman" specifically illustrates Revelation 12:1–6, where a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head, is described. She is in labor, giving birth to a male child who is to rule all nations, while a seven-headed dragon waits to devour the child.

Dürer's depiction of the Apocalyptic Woman is a masterful example of his skill in woodcut design and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual art. The woodcut shows the woman in a moment of both agony and glory, encapsulating the duality of her role as both a mother and a symbol of the Church or the people of God. The intricate details of the woodcut, such as the stars, the dragon, and the landscape, showcase Dürer's innovative approach to the medium and his influence on the Northern Renaissance.

The "Apocalyptic Woman" and the entire "Apocalypse" series were significant in the context of the time, reflecting the religious turmoil and apocalyptic expectations of the late 15th century. Dürer's works were widely disseminated due to the advent of the printing press, and his "Apocalypse" series, in particular, was one of the first books published by an artist for a mass audience. The imagery in these woodcuts has had a lasting impact on the visual representation of the Book of Revelation and has cemented Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of his time.

The "Apocalyptic Woman" remains an important work in the study of art history and theology, as it exemplifies the intersection of artistic innovation, religious fervor, and the burgeoning print culture of the Renaissance. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its powerful interpretation of one of the most dramatic passages in the Christian biblical canon.
