Description

The Birth of the Virgin, from The Life of the Virgin (copy) depicts the beginning of Mary’s life. The subject places a sacred biography within the human experience of birth, giving a moment of family life significance within a larger devotional story. The Metropolitan Museum of Art catalogs this undated woodcut as a copy after Albrecht Dürer.

As one episode in The Life of the Virgin, The Birth of the Virgin asks the viewer to understand Mary’s story through successive events rather than through a single isolated likeness. Its interest lies in the connection between a familiar human occasion and the religious importance of the child being born. The woodcut carries that narrative through a direct graphic language. This copy preserves the composition’s identity and its place in the series without claiming execution by Dürer himself.
