"Saint Christopher Facing to the Left" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1521. This work is part of a series of woodcuts that Dürer produced on religious themes, and it depicts the popular Christian saint, Christopher, who is revered as the patron saint of travelers. In the woodcut, Saint Christopher is shown carrying the Christ Child on his shoulders as he wades through a river, a scene based on the legendary account of the saint's life. The child's weight grows heavier as they cross, symbolizing the weight of the world's sins which Christ took upon himself.

Dürer's representation of Saint Christopher is notable for its intricate detail and the use of strong, expressive lines that was characteristic of his woodcuts. The saint is shown facing to the left, which is significant in the iconography of the time, as the left side often represented the direction of the heart and spiritual matters. The woodcut is also remarkable for its landscape elements, which showcase Dürer's skill in rendering nature in a detailed and realistic manner.

As with many of Dürer's works, "Saint Christopher Facing to the Left" reflects the artist's interest in humanism and the Northern Renaissance's focus on both religious subject matter and the natural world. The woodcut is a testament to Dürer's mastery of the medium and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. It remains an important example of Dürer's graphic works and contributes to our understanding of the religious and cultural context of early 16th-century Europe.
