"Madonna of the Pear" is an oil painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1526. This artwork is one of Dürer's later religious compositions, showcasing his mature style and his continued interest in the themes of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. Measuring 49 cm × 38 cm, the painting is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, who grasps a pear—a symbol of Christ's future passion and a reference to the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, thus alluding to the notion of salvation and the fall of man. Mary is portrayed with a serene expression, embodying the ideal of beauty during the Renaissance. The figures are set against a dark background, which serves to highlight their luminous skin tones and the richly detailed textures of their clothing.

Dürer's "Madonna of the Pear" is notable for its exquisite execution and the subtle interplay of colors and light. The artist's use of sfumato—a technique of softening the transition between colors—demonstrates his mastery of oil painting and his knowledge of Italian Renaissance techniques, which he had studied during his travels to Italy. The painting is a testament to Dürer's skill in blending Northern European artistic traditions with the innovations of the Italian Renaissance, resulting in a work that is both deeply spiritual and aesthetically refined.

As one of Dürer's celebrated religious works, "Madonna of the Pear" continues to be studied for its iconographic significance and its contribution to the development of Renaissance art. The painting is a key example of Dürer's enduring influence on the visual arts and his role in shaping the artistic landscape of early 16th-century Europe.
