EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant moment in Albrecht Dürer's "Christ Appearing to His Mother" from the Small Passion series. Created around 1510, this woodcut depicts a deeply emotional scene between Jesus Christ and his mother, the Virgin Mary. In this intimate portrayal, we see Mary kneeling at her bedside, engrossed in prayer. Her face is filled with both sorrow and awe as she gazes upon her risen son who stands before her. The tenderness of their connection is palpable, as Jesus reaches out to touch his mother's hand gently. Dürer masterfully conveys the narrative of this sacred encounter through intricate details and skillful use of light and shadow. The artist's Northern Renaissance style shines through in the meticulous rendering of furniture and furnishings surrounding them – from the ornate bed to the humble wooden lectern. This woodcut print not only showcases Dürer's technical prowess but also explores themes central to Christian faith - love, redemption, and divine intervention. It invites viewers into an intensely personal moment between a mother and her son that resonates across time. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its profound depiction of devotion and spiritual connection.
