"Knight, Death and the Devil" (German: "Ritter, Tod und Teufel") is a large 1513 engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, one of the most significant figures of the Northern Renaissance. This masterful work is part of Dürer's so-called Meisterstiche (master prints) trio, which also includes "Melencolia I" and "Saint Jerome in His Study." Measuring approximately 24.5 × 19.1 cm, the print depicts a scene of moral allegory: a stoic knight, accompanied by his loyal dog, rides through a narrow gorge flanked by the personifications of Death, depicted as a decaying corpse, and the Devil, portrayed as a monstrous figure.

The engraving is rich in symbolism and has been interpreted through various lenses, including the influence of the Italian Renaissance, the ideals of Christian chivalry, and the philosophy of humanism. Dürer's "Knight, Death and the Devil" is often seen as an embodiment of the "Christian Knight" ethos described in Erasmus of Rotterdam's "Handbook of a Christian Knight," which emphasizes the virtues of fortitude and moral steadfastness in the face of adversity and temptation.

The knight is clad in full armor, suggesting the theme of the "miles Christianus" or "Christian soldier," and appears resolute and unfazed by the menacing figures that surround him. Death holds up an hourglass, symbolizing the inevitability of time and mortality, while the Devil lurks behind, embodying the ever-present threat of sin and evil. The work's intricate detail, masterful use of the burin, and the interplay of light and shadow exemplify Dürer's technical prowess and his ability to convey complex themes through the medium of print.

"Knight, Death and the Devil" is held in high esteem not only for its technical brilliance but also for its profound thematic depth. It has been widely analyzed and interpreted by art historians and remains one of Dürer's most iconic and enigmatic works. The engraving is housed in several major museum collections, including the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It continues to captivate audiences with its powerful imagery and remains a subject of scholarly interest within the history of art.
