EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Whore of Babylon" a coloured woodcut from the Luther Bible dating back to 1530. Created by an anonymous German artist during the 16th century, this artwork is now housed in the Bible Society in London, UK. The image depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, specifically referencing the apocalyptic figure known as the Whore of Babylon. Intriguing and enigmatic, this woodcut captures the essence of biblical symbolism with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The central focus is on a woman adorned with opulent garments and jewelry, representing both seduction and corruption. Her presence evokes mystery and temptation while alluding to her role as a symbol for evil forces at work. "The Whore of Babylon" serves as a visual interpretation of John the Evangelist's visions described in Revelation. It explores themes such as divine judgment, spiritual warfare, and ultimate redemption. This historical piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into religious iconography while contemplating humanity's struggle between good and evil.
