"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 compelling and powerful works, it stands as a quintessential example of the Northern Renaissance master's skill in printmaking. The piece is often interpreted as an embodiment of the Christian concept of the "miles Christianus" or "Christian knight," illustrating moral steadfastness in the face of adversity and temptation.

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, symbolizing the inevitability of death. Despite these menacing figures, the knight maintains a composed demeanor, looking resolutely forward, which is often read as a metaphor for the righteous individual's journey through a morally corrupt world.

Measuring approximately 24.5 x 19.1 cm, the work is celebrated for its intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which create a palpable sense of depth and texture. Dürer's masterful use of the burin, a tool used in engraving, is evident in the fine lines and complex patterns that adorn the knight's armor, the horse's trappings, and the natural elements within the scene.

"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 collectively explore themes of human endeavor, spirituality, and intellectual pursuit. The engraving is held in numerous collections around the world and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest, admired for its technical brilliance and its rich allegorical content.
