"The Fifth Wise Virgin" is a notable engraving created in 1483 by the German artist Martin Schongauer, a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance. Schongauer, renowned for his intricate and detailed engravings, was a master of the medium, and his works significantly influenced subsequent generations of artists, including Albrecht Dürer.

This engraving is part of a series depicting the Parable of the Ten Virgins, a biblical story from the Gospel of Matthew (25:1-13). The parable tells of ten virgins who are waiting for the arrival of the bridegroom; five of them are wise and bring oil for their lamps, while the other five are foolish and do not. When the bridegroom arrives, the wise virgins are prepared and join the wedding feast, whereas the foolish virgins are left out.

In "The Fifth Wise Virgin," Schongauer captures the essence of the parable through meticulous detail and expressive characterization. The engraving portrays the fifth wise virgin in a moment of serene contemplation, holding her lamp alight, symbolizing her readiness and spiritual vigilance. Schongauer's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the figure to life and highlighting the intricate patterns of her garments and the delicate features of her face.

Schongauer's work is celebrated for its technical precision and emotional depth, qualities that are evident in "The Fifth Wise Virgin." The engraving not only reflects the artist's mastery of the medium but also his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. This piece, like many of Schongauer's works, played a crucial role in the dissemination of religious and moral ideas during the Renaissance, making it a significant artifact in the history of European art.
