Description

Christ Taking Leave of His Mother by Albrecht Dürer gives a farewell a spacious outdoor setting. Mary kneels near Christ as companions gather around her, while buildings and trees extend the scene behind them. The principal figures’ opposing postures make the encounter immediately clear, with Christ’s lifted hand directing attention toward the lowered group.

From The Life of the Virgin, this woodcut is represented by an impression catalogued to 1511. Dürer balances the intimacy of the farewell with the breadth of the place, allowing the surrounding world to remain visible beyond the moment of grief. Broad folds of clothing and carefully separated gestures give the gathering a quiet dignity, making tenderness and resolve the center of the richly described scene.
