The Virgin and Child by the Wall

This is a contemporary color interpretation of The Virgin and Child by the Wall, the celebrated 1514 engraving by Northern Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer. The Surrealium atelier has brought new life to the original monochromatic work through a subtle, AI-assisted color study. The resulting composition balances the precise modeling of Dürer's original with a serene and modern palette of mineral blue, muted green, and warm earth tones against an ivory background.

Albrecht Dürer's original work is a masterpiece of line and shadow, capturing a quiet, tender moment between mother and child. Our Atelier Edition reimagines this scene in full color, transforming the print into a painterly composition that brings a different warmth and emotional depth to the piece. This edition is exclusive to Fable, offering a new way to experience a timeless classic.

This archival print is available to all art lovers, with no membership required. For those with an active Fable subscription, the Surrealium atelier offers the unique ability to further customize this edition, allowing you to explore different color palettes or compositions for a truly personal piece of art.

Each fine-art print is made to order on archival, museum-grade matte paper using pigment inks rated to last for generations without fading. The work is restored and this contemporary edition is certified by the Surrealium atelier at Kastellet, a 17th-century sea fortress in the Stockholm archipelago, ensuring a gallery-quality print for your home.
