Painting Description
"The Whore of Babylon, from: The Apocalypse" is a renowned woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1496-1498 as part of his larger work, "The Apocalypse" series, which illustrates the Book of Revelation from the New Testament. This series is considered one of Dürer's seminal works and marks a significant contribution to the Northern Renaissance.
The woodcut depicts the Whore of Babylon, a symbolic figure from the Book of Revelation (17:3-4), sitting atop a seven-headed beast, embodying the ultimate symbol of evil and corruption. The image is rich with allegorical and iconographic elements, reflecting the complex theological and eschatological themes present in the biblical text. Dürer's portrayal of the Whore of Babylon is both intricate and dramatic, showcasing his mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to convey narrative through visual art.
Dürer's "The Apocalypse" series, including "The Whore of Babylon," was groundbreaking in its format and distribution. It was one of the first books in Europe to be published by an artist independently of a patron and to feature a series of full-page illustrations. The series was widely disseminated and influential, contributing to Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of his time.
"The Whore of Babylon, from: The Apocalypse" is not only a testament to Dürer's technical skill and artistic vision but also serves as a reflection of the religious and cultural milieu of late 15th-century Europe. The work remains an important historical artifact and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its role in the development of printmaking and visual culture.
