Painting Description
"The Virgin with the Monkey" is a copper engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1498. This work is one of many religious pieces by Dürer, who was known for his high-quality woodcuts and engravings. The engraving depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with a small monkey tethered on a leash in the foreground. The presence of the monkey is often interpreted as a symbol of sin or the devil, which contrasts with the purity and sanctity of the Virgin and Child.
Measuring approximately 19 x 12 cm, this piece is noted for its intricate detail and fine line work, characteristics that are typical of Dürer's engravings. The composition is carefully constructed, with the figures set against a backdrop that includes a distant landscape, providing a sense of depth and context to the scene. The Virgin is portrayed with a serene expression, embodying the ideals of beauty and holiness that were prevalent in Renaissance depictions of religious figures.
"The Virgin with the Monkey" reflects Dürer's skill in blending Northern Renaissance art's attention to detail with the Italian Renaissance's emphasis on proportion and perspective. The engraving is part of Dürer's larger body of work that helped establish his reputation as one of the most important and innovative artists of his time. Today, the piece is held in various collections and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of late 15th-century Europe.
