Famous Renaissance engraving known as “The Virgin with the Monkey”, created by the German master Albrecht Dürer around 1498, whose striking monogram (“AD”) is centered at the base of the composition. The work depicts the Virgin Mary sitting on a wooden bench on the edge of a lake, tenderly holding the Baby Jesus, who in turn interacts with a small bird resting on her hand. In the lower left corner, a chained monkey sits on the floor, serving as a traditional Christian allegory about lust or sin imprisoned by the virtue of Christ and Mary. In the background, a rich and detailed landscape stands out, including a typical half-timbered house on the right and distant mountains under dense clouds, all executed with hatching and refined lines that demonstrate Dürer’s technical virtuosity in the art of metal engraving.
