{"product_id":"nativity-albrecht-durer","title":"Nativity - Albrecht Dürer","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed woodcut by Albrecht Dürer from 1504, depicting the Nativity within a ruined stable setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, dated 1504, belongs to his series known as The Life of the Virgin. The composition displays the artist's mastery of the medium, utilising precise line work to define the architectural decay of the stable and the figures within. Dürer depicts the scene with a focus on structural detail, from the exposed timber rafters of the roof to the crumbling stone masonry of the walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Virgin Mary kneels in prayer before the infant, who rests in a simple basket. To the right, Joseph is shown in a contemplative posture, while a group of angels hovers in the upper left corner, their forms rendered with fluid, energetic lines. A star shines in the upper right, providing a singular light source that guides the eye across the scene. The contrast between the ruined architecture and the central figures creates a sense of quiet observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDürer was a central figure in the Northern Renaissance, and his prints were widely circulated across Europe. This work demonstrates his ability to combine Italianate perspective with the descriptive detail characteristic of German art at the time. The print is notable for its technical control, particularly in the way the hatching creates depth and texture on the stone surfaces. It remains a clear example of the technical standards Dürer achieved in his woodcut production, influencing printmaking practices for generations. The inclusion of his signature monogram on a stone block in the foreground confirms his authorship and his pride in the quality of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/lamentation-hans-baldung\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLamentation by Hans Baldung\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-crucifixion-lucas-cranach-the-elder\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Crucifixion by Lucas Cranach the Elder\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albrecht Dürer","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147221303631,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147222417743,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147222450511,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147222483279,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147222516047,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Nativity_Poster_CompositorV1_1792125617826.jpg?v=1792296799","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/nativity-albrecht-durer","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
