From LinkedCulture
This woodcut carries Albrecht Dürer's famous monogram, but Dürer had been dead for over fifty years when it was printed. Made in Germany around 1580 to 1590, it reproduces his beloved Holy Family in Egypt composition, complete with Mary cradling the Christ child, a pensive Joseph at center, and playful putti sawing wood in the foreground. It shows exactly how powerful Dürer's name remained, sold to buyers who saw that monogram as a guarantee of artistic and spiritual prestige.
