From LinkedCulture

Two tiny angels kneel at the Virgin's feet, playing flutes, their instruments scattered across the ground in a detail that feels almost playful for a sacred scene. Albrecht Dürer created this woodcut in 1511, fitting a crowd of figures, gnarled trees, and richly textured drapery into a square barely eight inches wide. The dense hatching he used to model cloth, bark, and flesh pushed the woodcut medium to its technical limits, and this print stands as proof of why Dürer remains the defining master of that art form.
