"The Babylonian Whore" is a woodcut created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, who lived from 1471 to 1528. Dürer is widely celebrated for his contributions to the Northern Renaissance, particularly through his masterful woodcuts, engravings, and paintings. This particular work is part of Dürer's famous series of woodcuts known as the "Apocalypse," which was first published in 1498. The series consists of 15 prints that vividly illustrate scenes from the Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament, which describes the end of the world and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

"The Babylonian Whore" depicts the apocalyptic vision of the Whore of Babylon, a symbolic figure described in Revelation 17. In the biblical text, the Whore of Babylon is portrayed as a harlot riding a beast with seven heads and ten horns, representing the embodiment of evil and corruption. Dürer's interpretation of this scene is both intricate and dramatic, capturing the intense emotion and complex symbolism of the biblical narrative.

In the woodcut, the Whore of Babylon is shown seated on the multi-headed beast, holding a golden cup filled with abominations and the filth of her adulteries. The beast itself is a fearsome creature, detailed with scales and menacing expressions on each of its heads. Surrounding the central figures are various other apocalyptic elements, including angels, saints, and the tumultuous landscape that underscores the chaos and divine judgment associated with the end times.

Dürer's technical skill is evident in the precise and elaborate line work, which brings a sense of depth and texture to the composition. The woodcut not only reflects Dürer's artistic prowess but also his deep engagement with theological themes and his ability to convey complex religious concepts through visual art. "The Babylonian Whore" remains a significant work within Dürer's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical importance.
