[H2]Introduction[/H2] [B]Christ Among the Doctors[/B] is an oil painting by German artist [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=albrecht+dürer,albrecht,dürer&']Albrecht Dürer[/A], created in 1506 during his second trip to Italy. The artwork, which measures 65 x 80 cm, is currently housed in the [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=museo+thyssen+bornemisza,museo,thyssen,bornemisza&']Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza[/A] in Madrid, Spain. [H2]Background and Analysis[/H2] The painting depicts an episode from the life of Christ, as described in the Gospel of Luke, when Jesus, at age twelve, goes along with Joseph and Mary on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. After the festival, Jesus lingers at the temple and is later found in discussion with the elders. [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=christ+among+the+doctors,christ,among,doctors&']Christ Among the Doctors[/A] stands out for its unique composition and style. The artwork features an overcrowded and dense arrangement of hands, heads, and books, creating a pattern that resembles the late work of Hieronymus Bosch and his followers. This density is in contrast to Dürer's earlier depictions of the theme, such as [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=the+seven+sorrows+of+the+virgin,seven,sorrows,virgin&']The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin[/A] (1494-1497) and the woodcut from the series [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=life+of+the+virgin,life,virgin&']Life of the Virgin[/A] (1503), where figures are depicted in full within a spacious interior. Dürer successfully combines elements of Italian and Northern European painting in this artwork. The composition is likely inspired by the Venetian type half-length picture, as seen in [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=christ+among+the+doctors,christ,among,doctors&']Christ among the Doctors[/A] (1504) by Cima da Conegliano. However, Dürer's version has a solemn and quiet mood, contrasting with the tense and dynamic atmosphere of the original. The painting also features grotesque heads of Jewish rabbis, which draw from the tradition of northern grotesque iconography and are influenced by Bosch's work. The character at the left of Jesus is a true caricature, possibly inspired by one of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings seen by Dürer. [H2]Provenance[/H2] The painting was executed hastily while Dürer was working on the [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=feast+of+the+rosary+altarpiece,feast,rosary,altarpiece&']Feast of the Rosary altarpiece[/A]. According to some sources, it could have been given to painter Giovanni Bellini and later seen by Lorenzo Lotto, who used one of the figures in his [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=madonna+with+child+between+sts+flavian+and+onuphrius,madonna,with,child,between,flavian,onuphrius&']Madonna with Child between Sts. Flavian and Onuphrius[/A]. [H2]Conclusion[/H2] [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=christ+among+the+doctors,christ,among,doctors&']Christ Among the Doctors[/A] is a remarkable artwork that showcases Dürer's mastery of oil painting and his ability to combine elements from different artistic traditions. The painting offers valuable insights into the artist's life and work, as well as the cultural and historical context of the time.
