Het offer van Joachim wordt geweigerd 1502 - 1506

Albrecht Dürer’s “Het offer van Joachim wordt geweigerd” is a wood-cut print depicting the Old Testament story of Joachim’s rejected offering. The print shows a scene of Joachim presenting a sacrifice to a group of priests who refuse it, due to his childlessness. The scene unfolds within a large hall with a vaulted ceiling, showcasing Dürer’s mastery of perspective and architectural detail. This intricate print, part of the “Life of the Virgin” series, captures the drama and emotions of the biblical narrative, making it a compelling example of Northern Renaissance art.
