This 1520 engraving by Albrecht Dürer depicts the Madonna and Child. In keeping with the Northern Renaissance tradition of realism, Dürer’s figures have detailed, anatomically correct features. Mary holds a swaddled infant, who is slightly asleep, while a faint halo surrounds them both. Dürer masterfully renders the folds of Mary’s drapery, creating a sense of weight and texture. The inscription “1520” in the bottom right corner of the artwork marks the year of creation, demonstrating the artist’s commitment to depicting the present moment.
