Description: The 2 euro coin commemorating the artist's 550th birthday features a detail from Dürer's 1526 *Madonna and Child* (Uffizi Gallery). The Virgin, emerging from a dark background with a pear, holds the infant Jesus, capturing a familial intimacy. The work exemplifies Dürer's characteristic attention to detail and faithful realism.
