The Nativity, c. 1502-1503. Creator: Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528)
The Nativity, c. 1502-1503. These eight woodcuts (1959.99.8-15) progress from Gabriels announcement to Mary that she would bear the Son of God, to the events of her early motherhood and beyond. This included the joy of sharing her pregnancy with her cousin Elizabeth, Jesuss birth, and the subsequent arrival of the magi. After Jesuss circumcision and presentation at the temple the Holy Family fled to Egypt to avoid Herod and stayed there for several years. The seemingly out of place last scene shows a glimpse of their daily life in Egypt as Joseph continues his carpentry and Mary spins wool. The Holy Family is surrounded by angels and helpful putti and are blessed by God the Father and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove overhead

The Nativity, c. 1502-1503 - A Glimpse into the Holy Family's Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures Albrecht Dürer's iconic woodcut series, "The Nativity" which beautifully depicts the significant moments surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. Spanning eight woodcuts, this collection takes us on a visual journey from Gabriel's divine announcement to Mary, to the events that unfolded during her early motherhood and beyond. Intriguingly, these scenes not only portray the joyous arrival of baby Jesus but also shed light on lesser-known aspects of their story. We witness Mary sharing her pregnancy with cousin Elizabeth and experience the awe-inspiring visitation by the magi following Jesus' birth. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, we are transported to Egypt where Joseph and Mary sought refuge from King Herod's wrath. The final scene offers an unexpected glimpse into their daily life in Egypt as Joseph diligently practices his carpentry while Mary spins wool. Surrounded by celestial beings such as angels and helpful putti, they receive blessings from God the Father and are guided by His Holy Spirit symbolized through a dove overhead. Albrecht Dürer's meticulous craftsmanship shines through each intricate detail of this woodcut series. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect upon the profound significance of this sacred event in Christianity while immersing ourselves in its historical context. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Dürer's genius
