This woodcut print, titled "CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST" was created in 1505 by the renowned German artist Albrecht Durer. The artwork depicts a significant moment in Christian history - the circumcision of Jesus Christ as an infant. The scene unfolds within the sacred walls of a synagogue or temple, where Mary and Joseph bring their newborn son to fulfill this religious rite. Surrounding them are members of the Holy Family, including Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary herself, who tenderly cradles baby Jesus. A rabbi stands at the center, performing the ceremony with utmost reverence. Durer's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this woodcut print. From intricate patterns on clothing to delicate expressions on each face, he captures both the solemnity and intimacy of this holy event. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and devotion that resonates with viewers even after centuries.
