"Joachim and St. Anne Meet at the Golden Gate" is an intricate woodcut produced by the German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Durer, as part of a series titled "The Life of the Virgin." This series, completed around 1503-1505, is a comprehensive set of 20 woodcuts illustrating various episodes from the life of Mary, the mother Jesus, as narrated in both canonical and apocryphal books.

The woodcut, "Joachim and St. Anne Meet at the Golden Gate," relays the biblical story found in the apocryal Protoevangelium of James, where the parents of Virgin Mary, Joachim and Anne, joyfully embrace each other at the Golden Gate of Jerusalem after a divine message told them they would bear a child. Combining both religious subject matter with everyday aspects of the German townscape, this work is a fine example of Durer's skill in depicting complex narratives in the smallest of details.

This particular woodcut measures 300 x 210 mm and reflects Durer's masterful understanding of the medium. The work captures Durer's typical precision and clarity, known to have laid the foundation for the Northern Renaissance's distinctive style. Today, it rests in several collections worldwide, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Remarkably detailed for its size, Durer's exquisite handiwork in "Joachim and St. Anne Meet at the Golden Gate," like the other pieces in "The Life of the Virgin" series, has played a significant role in establishing him as one of the most influential figures in the history of Western art.
