"Joachim's Offering Rejected; The Presentation of the Virgin; The Presentation in the Temple; and Christ Among the Doctors" is a series of woodcuts by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Created as part of the larger "Life of the Virgin" series between 1501 and 1511, these works exemplify Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium and his deep engagement with religious themes. Each woodcut in the series depicts a significant event in the life of the Virgin Mary or the early life of Jesus Christ, reflecting the importance of these biblical narratives in the devotional practices of the time.

The first woodcut, "Joachim's Offering Rejected" (B.77; M., Holl.189), portrays the moment when Joachim, the father of the Virgin Mary, is turned away from the Temple after his offering is deemed unworthy by the high priest. This scene sets the stage for the subsequent miraculous events in Mary's life.

"The Presentation of the Virgin" (B.81; M., Holl.193) illustrates the young Mary ascending the steps of the Temple, a moment that symbolizes her dedication to God and foreshadows her future role as the mother of Jesus.

In "The Presentation in the Temple" (B.88; M., Holl.200), Dürer captures the event of Mary and Joseph presenting the infant Jesus at the Temple, fulfilling the Jewish rite of purification and encountering the prophets Simeon and Anna, who recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

Finally, "Christ Among the Doctors" (B.91; M., Holl.203) depicts a 12-year-old Jesus engaging with the elders in the Temple, astonishing them with his wisdom and understanding of the scriptures.

Dürer's works are notable for their intricate detail, balanced compositions, and the fusion of Northern Renaissance and Italian Renaissance artistic elements. The woodcuts are also significant for their narrative clarity, which made them accessible to a wide audience, including the literate and illiterate alike. These pieces are part of Albrecht Dürer's contribution to the flourishing of printmaking in Europe, a medium that allowed for the broader dissemination of artworks and ideas. The "Life of the Virgin" series, including these four woodcuts, remains an important example of Dürer's technical skill and his impact on the visual culture of the Renaissance.
