"The Revelation of St John: 10. The Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Seven-headed Dragon" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his "Apocalypse" series in 1498. This series, which includes fifteen woodcuts, is considered one of Dürer's seminal works, showcasing his mastery of the woodcut medium and his deep engagement with the religious and existential themes of his time. The series illustrates the Book of Revelation by John the Apostle, also known as the Apocalypse, the final book of the New Testament.

This particular woodcut, the tenth in the series, depicts the dramatic scene described in Revelation 12, where a woman "clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" is confronted by a great red dragon with seven heads. This imagery is rich in symbolic meaning, with the woman generally interpreted as representing the Church or the Virgin Mary, embodying purity and divine protection, while the dragon symbolizes evil and persecution.

Dürer's work is notable for its intricate detail, dynamic composition, and the emotional intensity of the figures. He employs stark contrasts of light and shadow to enhance the dramatic effect of the scene, a technique that would influence the development of the German Renaissance and the broader Northern Renaissance. The woodcut reflects Dürer's technical skill and innovative approach to printmaking, which allowed for the wide dissemination of his work and ideas.

"The Revelation of St John: 10. The Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Seven-headed Dragon" is not only a masterpiece of religious art but also a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the spiritual and existential concerns of late 15th-century Europe. It remains a subject of study for art historians and scholars of the Renaissance, as well as a testament to Dürer's enduring legacy as one of the most influential artists of his time.
