Painting Description
The Whore of Babylon is a woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1498 as part of his Apocalypse series, which visually interprets the Book of Revelation from the New Testament. This artwork, along with the 15 other woodcuts in the series, marks one of the seminal works in Dürer's oeuvre and is notable for its intricate detail and complex iconography. The Whore of Babylon depicts the allegorical figure mentioned in the chapters 17 and 18 of Revelation, portrayed as a seductive and decadent woman sitting atop a seven-headed beast, symbolizing ultimate evil and corruption. The image serves as a powerful representation of vice and divine retribution, encapsulating the themes of moral decay and the transient nature of earthly powers, consistent with the apocalyptic tone of the biblical text. Dürer's work is celebrated for its technical brilliance and its vivid and impactful imagery, which has been influential in both religious and artistic contexts.
