"With the large copper Dürer takes stock of his learning and wandering years. He addresses the theme, which would become a leitmotif of his graphic work, for the first time: Mother of God in a landscape. As first copper the work 'Heilige Familie mit Libelle' (Holy Family with Dragonfly) carries his monogram in Gothic letters […]. The sheet, generally dated 'around 1495' may well have been one of his much sought-after main works from the versatile range of graphic works that Dürer made after he had returned from Italy. As far as size and function are concerned, it competes with small painted devotional images.“ (Rainer Schoch, in: Schoch/Mende/Scherbaum, vol. I, p. 29).
