"Life of the Virgin 4: The Birth of the Virgin" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created around 1503 as part of his larger series "Life of the Virgin." This series, which consists of 20 woodcuts, narrates the story of the Virgin Mary's life, from her birth to her Assumption. The fourth piece in the series, "The Birth of the Virgin," depicts the moment of Mary's birth, showcasing Dürer's intricate style and his ability to convey narrative through detailed imagery.

In this woodcut, Dürer illustrates the interior of a typical 15th-century Northern European house, with Saint Anne reclining on a large bed after giving birth, attended by several midwives. The newborn Mary is being bathed by the attendants in the foreground, a common practice in representations of this biblical event. The scene is rich with symbolic and domestic details, reflecting the customs and material culture of the time. Dürer's use of perspective and his attention to the textures of fabrics and surfaces demonstrate his mastery of the woodcut medium.

As part of the "Life of the Virgin" series, "The Birth of the Virgin" reflects Dürer's engagement with religious themes and his interest in humanizing sacred events by placing them in contemporary settings. The series was widely disseminated and influential, contributing to Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost printmakers of his era. "The Birth of the Virgin," like the other works in the series, is not only a testament to Dürer's technical skill but also to his capacity to imbue traditional religious subjects with a sense of immediacy and lived experience.
