"Knight, Death and the Devil" (German: "Ritter, Tod und Teufel") is a renowned copper engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, completed in 1513 during the Holy Roman Empire. Measuring approximately 24.5 × 19.1 cm, this masterwork of printmaking is often hailed as one of Dürer's "Meisterstiche" or master engravings, alongside "Melencolia I" and "Saint Jerome in His Study."

The engraving depicts a scene of a lone knight riding through a narrow gorge flanked by a pig-snouted devil and the figure of death, the latter holding an hourglass to signify the inevitability of time and mortality. The knight, who is often interpreted as a symbol of moral fortitude and Christian faith, appears resolute and unfazed by the ominous figures, embodying the concept of the "miles Christianus" or Christian soldier, a common motif in medieval and Renaissance literature.

Dürer's work is characterized by its exquisite detail, masterful use of light and shadow, and complex iconography that has been the subject of extensive scholarly interpretation. The engraving's precise lines and intricate textures showcase Dürer's technical prowess and his ability to convey narrative through imagery. The allegorical representation in "Knight, Death and the Devil" has been linked to the writings of the Dutch humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam, particularly his treatise "Enchiridion militis Christiani" (Handbook of a Christian Knight).

The print has been widely praised for its powerful evocation of the spiritual and existential struggles faced by humanity, and it remains a seminal work in the history of art for its profound influence on the visual arts and its reflection of the philosophical and religious currents of its time. "Knight, Death and the Devil" is held in numerous collections around the world and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and depth of meaning.
