EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Virgin by the Gate, 1522 (1906)" showcases the artistic brilliance of Albrecht Durer. The image is a woodcut from his renowned collection, "Durer Des Meisters Gemalde Kupferstiche und Holzschnitte in 471 Abbildungen" published in Stuttgart und Leipzig in 1906. In this masterpiece, we witness a serene German countryside setting where a mother sits at the gate with her infant child. The woman exudes an aura of divine grace as she embodies both earthly motherhood and religious devotion. This portrayal reflects the Renaissance era's fascination with depicting women as goddess-like figures. The artist skillfully captures every detail through monochrome tones, emphasizing light and shadow to create depth and texture. Through this technique, Durer brings out the tender bond between mother and child while hinting at their spiritual significance. "The Virgin by the Gate" transports us back to the 16th century when Christianity played a central role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder of Mary's pivotal role as both virgin and mother of God – Stella Maris or St. Mary – symbolizing purity, love, and protection. This timeless artwork not only showcases Durer's mastery but also invites contemplation on themes such as faith, family values, and maternal love that transcend time periods. As we gaze upon this print today, it continues to evoke awe for its beauty while reminding us of our shared human
