Albrecht Dürer’s *Feast of the Rosary* (1506) is a monumental oil painting on canvas depicting a scene of devotion to the Virgin Mary, a popular subject in Renaissance art. The painting features a large crowd of figures, including the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus, angels, and various clergy members, all converging on the central image of Mary. It is known for its detailed realism, particularly in the depiction of clothing and architectural elements, showcasing Dürer’s masterful use of perspective and light. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic.
