"Der Verlorene Sohn Hutet Die Schweine" (The Prodigal Son Tending the Swine) is an engraving by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham, created in the early 16th century. Beham, born in 1500 in Nuremberg, was a prominent figure of the German Renaissance and is often associated with the Little Masters, a group of German printmakers known for their small, finely detailed works.

This particular engraving is part of a series that illustrates the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, a story from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. The narrative follows a young man who squanders his inheritance on reckless living and eventually finds himself destitute, tending to swine. In his moment of despair, he decides to return to his father, who welcomes him back with open arms, symbolizing forgiveness and redemption.

Beham's depiction of the Prodigal Son in this engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the emotional depth conveyed through the composition. The scene captures the young man in a moment of reflection and sorrow, surrounded by swine, which were considered unclean animals in Jewish culture, thereby emphasizing his fall from grace. The artist's use of fine lines and careful shading creates a vivid and poignant image that draws the viewer into the narrative.

Hans Sebald Beham's work is characterized by its technical precision and the ability to convey complex themes through compact compositions. "Der Verlorene Sohn Hutet Die Schweine" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing Beham's skill in both storytelling and printmaking. This engraving, along with others in the series, provides valuable insight into the moral and religious concerns of the time, as well as the artistic innovations of the Northern Renaissance.
