The Holy Family With St. John, The Magdalen And Nicodemus 1512

"The Holy Family With St. John, The Magdalen And Nicodemus" is a 1512 engraving by the German Renaissance master Albrecht Durer. The print depicts the Holy Family, with Mary holding the infant Christ, along with three other figures - Saint John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, and Nicodemus. Durer’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the figures’ clothing and the surrounding environment. The use of cross-hatching to depict light and shadow contributes to the realism of the piece. This engraving exemplifies Durer’s mastery of printmaking and his profound understanding of religious imagery.
