"The Whore of Babylon" is a notable tapestry designed by the French artist Nicolas Bataille in the 14th century. It is part of a series of medieval tapestries known as "The Apocalypse Tapestry," which is based on the Book of Revelation from the New Testament. This particular piece depicts the allegorical figure of the Whore of Babylon, a symbol of evil and decadence, as described in the biblical text.

Nicolas Bataille, a renowned Parisian weaver of the time, was commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, to create this grand series. The tapestries were originally displayed in the cathedral of Angers, France, and were intended to educate and inspire awe among the medieval viewers with their vivid imagery and intricate detail.

The Whore of Babylon tapestry stands out for its rich iconography and complex symbolism. It portrays the Whore seated upon a seven-headed beast, as described in Revelation 17. The imagery is filled with representations of the political and religious turmoil of the era, reflecting the medieval church's perspective on heresy and moral decay.

The Apocalypse Tapestry, including "The Whore of Babylon," is considered a masterpiece of medieval art and remains one of the oldest and largest sets of French medieval tapestries still in existence. It is highly valued for its historical, artistic, and cultural significance, offering insight into the medieval mindset and the craftsmanship of the period.

Today, the tapestry is preserved and displayed at the Château d'Angers in Angers, France. It continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts alike, who are drawn to its historical context, artistic merit, and the skillful work of Nicolas Bataille and his workshop.
