Painting Description
"Virgin and Child with Half a Pear" is a notable painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1512. This artwork exemplifies Dürer's mastery in rendering religious themes with a profound sense of humanism and detail. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, who is playfully grasping a half-eaten pear, symbolizing the fruit of knowledge and the fall of man, thus alluding to Christ's future role in redemption.
Measuring 62.4 cm × 45.5 cm, the painting is executed in oil on a lime panel. It is distinguished by its fine detail, characteristic of Dürer's meticulous technique, and its rich color palette, which enhances the intimate and tender moment shared between mother and child. The composition showcases Dürer's skill in portraiture, set against a dark background that serves to highlight the figures and the delicate modeling of their faces and hands.
"Virgin and Child with Half a Pear" is part of Dürer's broader oeuvre of religious works, which often incorporated symbolic elements and showcased his innovative approach to traditional subjects. The painting is held in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and contribution to the Northern Renaissance. Its provenance and the critical reception over the centuries have cemented its status as a masterpiece of early 16th-century art.
