첫 번째 슬기로운 처녀

ca. 1475

Martin Schongauer’s engraving captures one of the 'Wise Virgins' from the biblical parable, distinguished by her lit lamp and crown of leaves. Her most striking feature is that magnificent cascade of curly hair, which flows down her back like a waterfall of ink—a perfect showcase for Schongauer’s incredible skill with the engraving burin. As part of a series of ten, this figure represents preparedness and virtue, standing in stark contrast to her 'foolish' counterparts who forgot to bring oil for their lamps. You can spot the artist’s famous 'M t S' monogram right at her feet, a signature that made his prints famous across Europe.
