    Another painting of Dürer's series on The Seven Sorrows of Mary. Dürer blends his own contemporary Renaissance time period with the early New Testament era. Scrolls become books. Clothing is a mixture of both times and cultures giving the painting a universal dimension. The wreath of faces encircling the young Jesus presents a microcosm of not only those confronted with him, but of all people of all times and all places.
