"The Virgin and Child with the Monkey" is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1498. Catalogued as Bartsch 42 and Meder, Holl. 30, this work is part of Dürer's extensive oeuvre that includes paintings, drawings, and printmaking, with a particular emphasis on engravings and woodcuts. The piece depicts the Virgin Mary seated in a landscape, holding the Christ Child on her lap, with a small monkey tethered on a leash in the foreground. This inclusion of the monkey is often interpreted as a symbol of sin or the devil, serving as a contrast to the purity and sanctity of the Virgin and Child.

Measuring approximately 190 x 120 mm, the engraving showcases Dürer's mastery of the medium, with fine lines and intricate details that create a sense of depth and texture. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures of Mary and Jesus forming a stable, central pyramid that draws the viewer's eye. The landscape in the background, while less detailed, provides a sense of place and context for the holy figures.

Dürer's "The Virgin and Child with the Monkey" is notable for its technical excellence and its rich iconography. The work reflects the artist's deep understanding of human anatomy, perspective, and his ability to infuse religious subjects with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth. As with many of Dürer's prints, this engraving would have been widely circulated, contributing to his reputation as one of the foremost artists of the Northern Renaissance and influencing generations of artists across Europe.

The engraving is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in terms of its iconographic elements and place within Dürer's broader exploration of religious themes. It remains an important example of Dürer's graphic work and a testament to his enduring impact on the history of art.
