"Knight, Death and Devil" is a copper engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1513. As one of Dürer's most celebrated and complex works, it is often interpreted as an embodiment of the Christian concept of the "miles Christianus" or Christian knight. The engraving measures 24.5 × 18.8 cm and is renowned for its exquisite detail, masterful use of the medium, and the depth of its iconography.

The composition presents a lone knight riding through a narrow gorge flanked by a pig-snouted devil and the figure of Death, who holds an hourglass, signifying the inevitability of time and mortality. The knight, resolute and composed, is often thought to represent the ideal of steadfastness and courage in the face of adversity and moral corruption. His armor is meticulously rendered, symbolizing his spiritual and moral fortitude. Accompanying the knight is a loyal dog, which contrasts with the sinister figures and represents fidelity and vigilance.

Dürer's work is steeped in the intellectual and theological currents of his time, drawing from the writings of Erasmus of Rotterdam and the ethos of the Reformation. The engraving is part of a trio of master prints by Dürer, alongside "Melencolia I" and "Saint Jerome in His Study," which together explore themes of human endeavor, salvation, and the quest for knowledge.

"Knight, Death and Devil" is not only a pinnacle of Dürer's printmaking skills but also a work that has intrigued scholars and art enthusiasts for centuries. Its allegorical content, technical brilliance, and the questions it raises about the nature of human existence contribute to its enduring legacy and status as a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art.
