The Prodigal Son Amid the Swine
Albrecht Dürer1494 - 1498
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
A young profligate claims his inheritance, squanders his fortune in taverns and brothels, and winds up penniless amid the swine. Upon returning home, full of repentance, his father welcomes him with open arms. The prodigal son personifies the prideful sinner who spurns God and upon seeing the error of his ways is received with boundless mercy.
