Albrecht Dürer's "Joachim and St. Ann meet at the Golden Gate," a 1504 engraving, depicts a scene from the biblical story of the Virgin Mary's parents. The scene is set within an ornate archway, with a bustling cityscape visible in the background. The intricate detail and realism characteristic of Dürer's style is evident in the figures' clothing, the architecture, and the landscape. This artwork is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and represents Dürer's masterful command of engraving techniques and his deep understanding of religious narratives.
