"The Virgin on a Crescent with a Crown of Stars and a Scepter" is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the early 16th century. This work is part of Dürer's extensive corpus of religious-themed engravings and reflects the artist's deep engagement with Christian iconography. The engraving depicts the Virgin Mary in a celestial context, standing on a crescent moon, which is a common symbol of her purity and association with the Immaculate Conception. She is adorned with a crown of stars, referencing the Woman of the Apocalypse described in the Book of Revelation (12:1), and holds a scepter, signifying her role as the Queen of Heaven.

Dürer's masterful technique is evident in the intricate details of the Virgin's garments and the delicate rendering of her serene, compassionate expression. The composition combines Gothic and Renaissance elements, showcasing Dürer's ability to synthesize different artistic traditions into a harmonious whole. The engraving is notable for its exquisite line work and the use of hatching and cross-hatching to create depth and volume, techniques that Dürer helped to pioneer and which had a profound influence on the printmaking of his time.

As with many of Dürer's works, "The Virgin on a Crescent with a Crown of Stars and a Scepter" reflects the artist's interest in humanism and theology, as well as his engagement with the intellectual currents of the Northern Renaissance. The piece is also an example of the growing veneration of the Virgin Mary in the late medieval period and the Renaissance, which saw a proliferation of Marian art across Europe.

The engraving is held in various collections and has been studied extensively by art historians for its technical brilliance and its place within the broader context of Dürer's oeuvre and the religious art of the period. It continues to be admired for its beauty and its rich symbolic content, and it remains an important work for understanding the development of printmaking and religious art in Renaissance Europe.
