Dürer’s newfound comprehension of both classical form and the naturalistic effects of light and shade is evident in this engraving. The relationship between the Virgin and the pear might symbolize spiritual nourishment, as the full shape of the fruit the Virgin holds in one hand is echoed by the belly of the child she gently touches with the other.","remarks":"K1-4May2013.pdf"}],"media":[{"id":100766,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV25490","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Inventory Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"<P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%'>Campbell Dodgson, <EM>Albrecht Dürer</EM> (London: Medici Society, 1926).&nbsp;</SPAN></P>","citation":"<P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%'>Campbell Dodgson, <EM>Albrecht Dürer</EM> (London: Medici Society, 1926).&nbsp;</SPAN></P>, no. 54","date":1926,"id":6211,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/3338518"},{"boilertext":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Sylvester Rosa Koehler, <em>A Chronological Catalogue of the Engravings, Dry-points and Etchings of Albert Dürer, as Exhibited at the Grolier Club</em> (New York: The Grolier Club, 1897).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>","citation":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Sylvester Rosa Koehler, <em>A Chronological Catalogue of the Engravings, Dry-points and Etchings of Albert Dürer, as Exhibited at the Grolier Club</em> (New York: The Grolier Club, 1897).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>, no. 63, p. 54","date":1897,"id":6212,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/2526962"},{"boilertext":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Rainer Schoch, Matthias Mende, and Anna Scherbaum, Albrecht Dürer: das druckgraphische Werk (München: Prestel, 2001).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>","citation":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Rainer Schoch, Matthias Mende, and Anna Scherbaum, Albrecht Dürer: das druckgraphische Werk (München: Prestel, 2001).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>, no. 63","date":2001,"id":6213,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/46853856"},{"boilertext":"<SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA'>Erwin Panofsky, <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">Albrecht Dürer</I> (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1945).</SPAN>","citation":"<SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA'>Erwin Panofsky, <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">Albrecht Dürer</I> (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1945).</SPAN>","date":1945,"id":6214,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/7184939"},{"boilertext":"<SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA'>Arthur Mayger Hind, <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">Albrecht Dürer: his engravings and woodcuts</I> (New York: Frederick A.
