Our radiant Dürer: Virgin on the Crescent Fine Holiday Cards reimagine a serene engraving (ca. 1499) of the Virgin and Child in The Met’s Drawings and Prints collection by the incomparable Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471–1528).
From pensive self-portraits to pioneering nature studies, chaotic biblical scenes to tranquil landscapes, Dürer’s trailblazing body of work both influenced and expanded the very scope of art. Read our blog post to learn more about how Dürer’s life and legacy continue to inspire us at The Met Store.
Our Bentley: Snow Crystal Fine Holiday Cards are the perfect choice for a secular winter greeting.
Depicted in silver foil is a delicate snow crystal inspired by the one captured around 1910 by Wilson Alwyn Bentley (American, 1865–1931). Bentley was a pioneer in the field of photomicrography and became the first photographer to immortalize a single snowflake.
Choose the Drevenstedt: Noel Fine Holiday Cards for a dash of Art Deco elegance. Amy Drevenstedt’s (American, b. 1886) angels from her 1930 print titled Noel come to life with shimmering gold-foil detailing.
New for 2025 are our Prancing Reindeer Fine Holiday Cards. Wish your loved ones "Happy Holidays" with our set of 10 cards reimagining an American greeting card made around 1957 and now in The Met's Jefferson R. Burdick Collection, a perennial source of inspiration for Met Store designs.
