Description

Christ Taking Leave of His Mother shows Christ addressing Mary outside a timbered shelter as she kneels with her hands brought together. Other women stand close behind her, while a tall tree and the buildings of a distant city establish the landscape beyond. The upright figure of Christ faces the group directly, making the farewell feel personal and closely observed.

This woodcut after Albrecht Dürer’s Life of the Virgin design presents the episode through the exchange of gestures rather than through grand ceremony. Mary’s lowered posture and Christ’s lifted hand connect the two sides of the gathering, while the companions give the moment the weight of shared concern. Dense lines describe fabric, wood and foliage, placing the sacred farewell within a world of recognizable surroundings and human attachment.
