"Das Babylonische Weib" (The Babylonian Woman) is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the early 16th century. This work is part of a series of illustrations produced by Dürer for the Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, which is the final book of the New Testament. The series, which includes 15 woodcuts, was first published in 1498 and is considered one of Dürer's most significant contributions to the art of woodcutting.

The image of "Das Babylonische Weib" is a visual interpretation of the Whore of Babylon, a symbolic figure of evil mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Dürer's depiction is rich in symbolic detail and reflects the artist's interpretation of the biblical text, as well as the cultural and religious context of his time. The woodcut shows the Babylonian Woman seated upon a seven-headed beast, which is said to represent the seven hills of Rome and the corrupt, idolatrous empires of the world.

Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium is evident in the intricate details and the expressive lines that characterize "Das Babylonische Weib." The work is notable for its dramatic composition and the stark contrasts between light and dark, which serve to emphasize the moral dichotomy presented in the biblical narrative. As with many of Dürer's works, this woodcut combines a high level of technical skill with a profound exploration of religious themes, making it an important piece in the study of Northern Renaissance art.

"Das Babylonische Weib" is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance. It reflects the tumultuous religious climate of the early 16th century, a period marked by the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The woodcut series, including "Das Babylonische Weib," played a role in disseminating biblical imagery and ideas to a wide audience, contributing to the spread of Reformation thought.

Today, "Das Babylonische Weib" and the rest of Dürer's Apocalypse series are preserved in various art collections around the world and continue to be the subject of scholarly study and public interest. They are often highlighted in exhibitions focusing on Dürer's work, the history of printmaking, or the visual culture of the Renaissance.
