The Revelation of Saint John: The Woman Clothed with the Sun
Woodcut of a divine figure enthroned, a woman with a halo, angels, a seven-headed dragon, a lion, and a crowd of people, from the Book of Revelation.
This woodcut, attributed to Albrecht Dürer, depicts a dramatic scene from the Book of Revelation. At the apex, a divine figure, possibly God or Christ, is enthroned amidst radiant light and clouds, holding a crescent moon. Below, a celestial woman, adorned with a crown and bathed in sunlight, is attended by angels. She is pursued by a fearsome seven-headed dragon, a symbol of evil. The scene also features a lion-like creature and a multitude of people observing the unfolding cosmic drama. The intricate detail and dynamic composition convey a sense of awe, conflict, and divine power, characteristic of Renaissance religious art.
