"St. Christopher Facing to the Right" is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1521. This work is part of a series of engravings by Dürer that depict St. Christopher, a Christian martyr and one of the most popular saints from the legends of the Catholic Church. The engraving portrays the saint carrying the Christ Child across a river, a common representation of St. Christopher that is rooted in the Golden Legend—a collection of hagiographies that was widely read during the Middle Ages.

In this particular depiction, Dürer presents St. Christopher in a rightward-facing profile, which is significant in the context of iconography, as the right side often symbolizes the righteous path or good fortune. The engraving is notable for its exquisite detail and the use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques, which create a sense of depth and texture. Dürer's mastery in capturing the physicality of the saint and the serene expression of the Christ Child is evident, reflecting the artist's skill in rendering human figures and his deep understanding of religious iconography.

The work is also an example of Dürer's interest in human proportion and his exploration of landscape as a backdrop for human activity. The background of the engraving features a meticulously crafted landscape that provides context for the narrative and demonstrates Dürer's ability to integrate figures within a natural setting.

"St. Christopher Facing to the Right" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its contribution to the visual interpretation of saintly legends during the Renaissance. It remains an important piece within Dürer's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its technical brilliance and its role in the development of Northern Renaissance art.
