Christ among the Doctors 1506

Albrecht Dürer's "Christ among the Doctors" (1506) depicts a scene from the Gospel of Luke, where a young Jesus engages in theological debate with learned scholars in the Temple. The painting showcases Dürer's mastery of Northern Renaissance realism, with detailed rendering of the figures, drapery, and books. The composition, with its focus on the central group and the use of light, draws the viewer's attention to the central figure of Jesus, emphasizing his youthful wisdom and divine authority. The artwork is currently housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.
