"The Virgin with the Dragonfly" is a copper engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1495. This piece is one of Dürer's early works and showcases his remarkable skill in engraving, a technique he would become renowned for throughout his career. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary seated in a landscape, holding the Christ Child on her lap. A dragonfly can be seen in the lower right corner of the engraving, which has led to the work's distinctive title.

The engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the use of light and shadow, which was innovative for its time and demonstrates Dürer's mastery of the medium. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures of the Virgin and Child forming a stable, central focus. The landscape in the background is rendered with fine lines and includes a variety of plants and natural elements, which was characteristic of Dürer's attention to the natural world.

"The Virgin with the Dragonfly" reflects the influence of both Gothic and Renaissance artistic traditions. Dürer's training in the Gothic style is evident in the delicate and elongated figures, while the use of perspective and volume shows his engagement with the emerging Renaissance principles of art. The presence of the dragonfly has been subject to various interpretations, with some scholars suggesting it symbolizes the transient nature of life, while others see it as a sign of resurrection and new life, linking it to the Christ Child's future resurrection.

This engraving is part of a larger body of Dürer's work that explores religious themes, and it exemplifies his lifelong interest in the depiction of the Madonna and Child. "The Virgin with the Dragonfly" is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important example of Dürer's early printmaking. It remains a subject of study for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Dürer's oeuvre and the broader Northern Renaissance art movement.
