St. Christopher Facing Left (b. 51; M., Holl. 53) is an engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1521. This work is part of a series depicting St. Christopher, a Christian martyr and one of the most popular saints from the legends of the early church. Known for his story of carrying the Christ child across a river, St. Christopher is often depicted as a giant figure in art. In this particular engraving, Dürer portrays St. Christopher in a left-facing profile, which is less common compared to the traditional frontal depictions seen in many other artworks of the same subject.

The engraving showcases Dürer's mastery in capturing detail and texture, a hallmark of his artistic style. St. Christopher is shown with a serene expression, carrying the Christ child on his shoulder, who holds a globe symbolizing the world. The background features a detailed landscape, which adds depth and context to the scene, emphasizing the saint's journey and his role as a bearer of burdens.

This piece is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its representation in Dürer's exploration of religious themes. St. Christopher Facing Left reflects the humanistic tendencies of the Northern Renaissance, focusing on the strength and dignity of the individual. As part of Dürer's broader oeuvre, this engraving contributes to our understanding of the artist's religious and artistic intentions during a period marked by significant theological and cultural shifts.
