From LinkedCulture
A six-pointed star hangs in the shadowed rafters of a crumbling stable while three richly dressed Magi crowd around the Christ Child in Albrecht Dürer's 1511 woodcut from his Life of the Virgin series. Rather than depicting golden splendour, Dürer sets the scene inside rough timber beams and worn plaster, giving the moment a striking human weight. His fine cross-hatching achieves an almost engraved tonal depth, making this one of the most technically remarkable prints of the entire Northern Renaissance.
