"The Babylonian Whore" is an intricate and evocative woodcut created by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. This work is part of Dürer's celebrated series of woodcuts illustrating the Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse series, which was first published in 1498. Dürer’s Apocalypse series is notable for its dramatic and detailed depictions of the apocalyptic visions described in the New Testament, and "The Babylonian Whore" is one of the most striking images within this collection.

The woodcut vividly portrays the Whore of Babylon, a symbolic figure described in Revelation 17:1-5. In Dürer's interpretation, the Whore is depicted riding a seven-headed beast, which is adorned with ten horns. She is richly dressed and holds a golden cup filled with abominations and impurities, symbolizing her corrupting influence. The imagery is laden with symbolism, reflecting the moral and spiritual decay associated with the figure of Babylon in the biblical text.

Dürer’s technical mastery is evident in the intricate details and dynamic composition of the woodcut. His use of line work creates a sense of movement and depth, drawing the viewer into the chaotic and foreboding scene. The artist's ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art is a testament to his skill and intellectual engagement with the religious and cultural issues of his time.

"The Babylonian Whore" and the rest of the Apocalypse series had a profound impact on the art world and on the dissemination of biblical imagery during the Renaissance. Dürer’s work not only reflects the anxieties and eschatological concerns of the late 15th century but also showcases the innovative potential of printmaking as a medium for artistic expression and communication.
