Description
From the Latin edition of 1511.
The Revelation of St John: 14. The Whore of Baylon. "This image is one of a series of woodblocks made by the German artist Albrecht Dürer in the late fifteenth century during the height of the so-called "war on witches" conducted by the Christian Church against the people of Europe (see chapter 1). In this scene, the woman or whore of Babylon rides a seven-headed dragon, leaving a trail of destruction behind her, including (on the right) a riverside city in flames." [1]

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1528, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
