Albrecht Dürer's "Holy Family with the Dragonfly", c. 1495, exemplifies his skill as an engraver and his ability to blend religious themes with detailed observations of nature. This print showcases the Holy Family in a detailed outdoor setting.
Albrecht Dürer's engraving, "Holy Family with the Dragonfly", dates from around 1495, early in his career as a printmaker. Dürer, a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance, demonstrates his skill in capturing texture and detail through the precise art of engraving. The work depicts the Virgin Mary seated with the infant Christ, while Joseph rests nearby. God the Father appears in the upper portion of the composition, surrounded by clouds and radiant light. The scene is set within a detailed outdoor setting, complete with buildings, trees, and a distant landscape. The "dragonfly" in the title refers to a small insect near the lower edge of the print; it is now generally accepted to be a butterfly. The print showcases Dürer's mastery of line and tone, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. His work reflects the influence of both classical and Northern European artistic traditions, blending religious subject matter with realistic observation of the natural world. Dürer's prints were widely circulated during his lifetime, establishing his reputation and influencing generations of artists.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Albrecht Dürer
Drew a rhinoceros he had never seen that remained the standard image for three centuries, and painted himself in the pose of Christ at twenty-eight.
