Default The Whore of Babylon

Hello, everybody.
I am looking for portrayals of the whore of Babylon. So far, I only have three examples. Two from the sixteenth century: Lucas Cranach and another from before his time and another whose name I forget right now. The painter who did the subject before Cranach in the early sixteenth century obviously never read the source literature on the subject. I have heard that Picasso did one on the subject, but I can't find anything. I want to see how the idea of it has changed over time.
If done according to the sources, it must be a very erotic work. After all she is fornicating with seven heads and ten horns and at the same time maintaining her virginity as far as I can tell.
Babylon is my latest study. I thought that it would be short and quick, but it is turning into something more detailed and comprehensive.
Later, Garibaldi.
