"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 is often considered a masterpiece of the Northern Renaissance and a pinnacle of the engraving medium. The piece measures approximately 24.5 × 19.1 cm and is part of a series of three large prints created by Dürer between 1513 and 1514, the others being "Melencolia I" and "Saint Jerome in His Study." Collectively, these prints are sometimes referred to as the "Meisterstiche" or "master engravings."

The image depicts a scene of a 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 time and mortality. The knight, often interpreted as a symbol of moral virtue or the Christian knight as described by Erasmus of Rotterdam, appears resolute and unfazed by the ominous figures, embodying the concept of the "just man" persevering through adversity.

Dürer's intricate and precise technique, along with the rich iconography and allegorical content, has led to various interpretations of the work. Some view it as an expression of the humanist and Reformation ideals of Dürer's time, while others see it as a personal reflection on the artist's own concerns with morality, death, and the afterlife. The engraving's exquisite detail, use of light and shadow, and the complex interplay of figures highlight Dürer's skill and contribute to the enduring fascination with the piece.

"Knight, Death and the Devil" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic and technical brilliance but also for its profound impact on the history of art. It continues to be studied and admired for its symbolic depth and as a quintessential example of Dürer's contribution to the art of engraving.
