"Circumcision" is a notable woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the late 15th or early 16th century, specifically in 1505. This work is part of Dürer's larger series of woodcuts known as the "Life of the Virgin," which explores various events in the life of the Virgin Mary and the early life of Jesus Christ. The series is celebrated for its intricate detail, emotional depth, and innovative composition, qualities that are evident in the "Circumcision" piece.

The woodcut depicts the biblical scene of the circumcision of Jesus, an event described in the New Testament, taking place on the eighth day following his birth, in accordance with Jewish tradition. This scene is set in the interior of a temple, with various figures surrounding the infant Jesus, who is being held over an altar by the High Priest. Mary, Joseph, and other onlookers are present, their expressions capturing a range of emotions that reflect the significance of the moment.

Dürer's "Circumcision" is notable for its detailed representation of figures and architectural elements, showcasing the artist's mastery of the woodcut medium. The work is characterized by its fine lines and careful attention to detail, which allow for a dynamic composition and a deeply emotional portrayal of the scene. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate patterns of the clothing and the temple's interior, contribute to the overall impact of the piece.

As part of the "Life of the Virgin" series, "Circumcision" reflects Dürer's interest in religious themes and his ability to infuse traditional biblical stories with a new sense of realism and human emotion. The series as a whole was influential in the development of the Northern Renaissance art, and "Circumcision," in particular, exemplifies Dürer's contributions to the genre of religious art.

Today, "Circumcision" and the rest of the "Life of the Virgin" series are held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike. They are considered important works in the study of Renaissance art and continue to be the subject of scholarly research and exhibition in museums around the world.
