"Coat-of-Arms with a Skull" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1503. This engraving, measuring 22.6 x 16.2 cm, is part of Dürer's exploration of heraldic themes, a common subject in the art of the period, which often symbolized family lineage, status, and identity. However, Dürer's rendition is unique in that it incorporates a memento mori motif, with the prominent inclusion of a skull.

The composition of "Coat-of-Arms with a Skull" features a shield adorned with a crowned helmet, from which a lush mantling flows outward. The shield itself is divided into four quadrants, each possibly bearing symbolic elements, although interpretations of these symbols vary. At the center of the composition, below the shield, rests a large skull, which serves as a stark reminder of mortality and the transient nature of earthly achievements and honors.

Dürer's work is characterized by its exquisite detail and masterful use of the engraving medium, which was still relatively new at the time. The artist's technical prowess is evident in the intricate lines and textures that give life to the inanimate objects within the piece. "Coat-of-Arms with a Skull" is not only a reflection of Dürer's skill as an engraver but also provides insight into the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of the early 16th century, particularly the contemplation of death and the afterlife.

This work is part of a larger body of Dürer's engravings that contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost artists of the Northern Renaissance. His innovative approach to traditional subjects, as seen in "Coat-of-Arms with a Skull," has made this piece an enduring subject of study for art historians and an important artifact of Renaissance art. The engraving is held in various collections and is frequently exhibited in museums that showcase prints and drawings from this era.
