"The Prodigal Son Tending the Swine" is a renowned engraving by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham, created in 1538 during the Renaissance period. This work is part of a series of engravings that depict the parable of the Prodigal Son from the New Testament of the Bible. The parable, found in the Gospel of Luke, tells the story of a young man who squanders his inheritance and, after falling into poverty and despair, returns to his father who forgives him and welcomes him back with open arms.

Beham's engraving captures the moment when the prodigal son, having spent all his wealth, is reduced to tending swine, a task considered unclean and humiliating, especially for a Jewish audience. The artwork reflects the themes of repentance and redemption central to the parable, as well as the moral and social values of the time.

Hans Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a prominent figure of the Little Masters, a group of German artists known for their small, intricate engravings. Beham's work is characterized by its fine detail, clear composition, and the influence of the Italian Renaissance, despite the artist never having traveled to Italy. His engravings were widely circulated and influential in spreading Renaissance ideas throughout Northern Europe.

"The Prodigal Son Tending the Swine" is notable for its technical skill and its expressive portrayal of the prodigal son's despair. The work is held in high regard for its contribution to the Northern Renaissance and for its insight into the human condition, making it a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike. The engraving remains an important example of Beham's artistic legacy and continues to be studied for its historical and cultural significance.
