"The Great Piece of Turf" (German: "Das große Rasenstück") is a watercolor painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1503. Renowned for its remarkable detail and naturalism, this masterpiece of observational art is considered one of Dürer's most significant studies of nature. The painting depicts a seemingly random segment of meadowland, with a variety of plant species rendered with scientific accuracy and artistic finesse.

Measuring 41 cm by 31 cm, the artwork showcases Dürer's skill in portraying the intricate textures and subtle variations of the natural world. The composition features a range of plants, including dandelions, plantains, and grasses, which are depicted with such precision that botanists can identify the species. The work is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the plants' different stages of growth and its exploration of the interplay between light and shadow.

"The Great Piece of Turf" is often interpreted as a reflection of Dürer's deep interest in the natural sciences and his engagement with the principles of the Northern Renaissance, which emphasized observation and empirical study. The painting is housed in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its contribution to the understanding of Renaissance art and the history of botanical illustration.

This piece not only exemplifies Dürer's mastery of the watercolor medium but also serves as an early example of the genre of pure landscape painting, which would become more prominent in Western art during the 17th century. "The Great Piece of Turf" remains a testament to Dürer's legacy as one of the foremost artists of his time, whose work bridged the worlds of art and science.
