Christ Appearing to his Mother

Albrecht Dürer.
Passio Christi ab Alberto Durer Nurenbergensi effigiata cum varii generis carminibus Fratris Benedicti Chelidonii Musophili.

Nuremberg: Albrecht Dürer, 1511. (11012)

Dürer departed again from the scriptures in Christ Appearing to his Mother, as there is no description in the Gospels of Christ’s posthumous encounter with Mary. However, as St. Ambrose had insisted, Christ must have visited his grieving mother first of all.
