Joachim's Sacrifice Rejected by the High Priest (Joachims Opfer Wird Zurückgewiesen) is a significant work by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Created in 1504, this piece is part of Dürer's larger series of woodcuts known as the "Life of the Virgin." The series, which consists of 20 woodcuts, illustrates various events from the life of the Virgin Mary, drawing from apocryphal sources and the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies by Jacobus de Voragine.

In "Joachim's Sacrifice Rejected by the High Priest," Dürer captures a poignant moment from the story of Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Virgin Mary. According to the narrative, Joachim, a wealthy and pious man, is turned away by the High Priest when he attempts to offer a sacrifice at the temple. The rejection is due to his and Anne's childlessness, which was considered a sign of divine disfavor. This moment of rejection and humiliation is a pivotal point in the story, leading Joachim to retreat to the wilderness to pray for a child.

Dürer's woodcut is notable for its intricate detail and the emotional depth conveyed through the expressions and body language of the figures. The composition is carefully structured, with the High Priest positioned centrally, his stern demeanor contrasting with Joachim's dejected posture. The architectural elements of the temple and the surrounding figures add to the narrative depth, providing a rich context for the scene.

This work exemplifies Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium, showcasing his ability to render complex scenes with precision and emotional resonance. The "Life of the Virgin" series, including "Joachim's Sacrifice Rejected by the High Priest," played a crucial role in establishing Dürer's reputation as one of the leading artists of his time. The series was widely distributed and remains a significant example of Northern Renaissance art, reflecting both Dürer's technical skill and his deep engagement with religious themes.
