"Knight, Death and the Devil" is a renowned copper engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1513. As one of Dürer's most celebrated masterpieces, this work is often considered one of the greatest engravings of the Northern Renaissance. The piece is known for its intricate detail and complex iconography, which has been interpreted in various ways over the centuries.

The engraving depicts a lone knight riding through a narrow gorge flanked by a pig-snouted devil and the figure of Death, who holds an hourglass. The knight, who is often thought to represent the ideal of Christian fortitude or the "miles Christianus" (Christian soldier), appears resolute and undistracted by the menacing figures beside him. His armor is elaborately detailed, and his faithful dog trots alongside his horse, further symbolizing loyalty and the virtues of the knight.

"Knight, Death and the Devil" is part of a trio of engravings by Dürer, along with "Melencolia I" and "Saint Jerome in His Study," which are sometimes referred to as the "Meisterstiche" or "master engravings." These works are noted for their thematic depth and technical precision, showcasing Dürer's skill in the medium of engraving.

The engraving's precise meaning remains the subject of scholarly debate, with interpretations ranging from an allegory of moral steadfastness to a more personal expression of Dürer's own religious and existential concerns. The work's enduring appeal lies in its potent combination of moral allegory, technical mastery, and the existential drama captured in the knight's journey.

"Knight, Death and the Devil" is held in numerous collections around the world and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and its reflection of the philosophical and spiritual preoccupations of its time.
