Description

The Prodigal Son by Albrecht Dürer brings a biblical moment into the everyday surroundings of a farmyard. A young man kneels among pigs with his hands lifted in prayer, while feeding vessels and animals fill the foreground. Behind him, steep roofs, rough wooden buildings and an open yard establish a convincing rural setting.

Made around 1496, the engraving focuses on the son’s moment of recognition before his return home. The humble surroundings make his isolation and need immediately tangible. Dürer gives the farm buildings and livestock as much care as the central figure, allowing the familiar details of daily life to deepen the emotional force of the story.
