"St. Christopher Facing to the Right" is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1521. This work is part of a series of engravings by Dürer depicting St. Christopher, a Christian martyr and one of the most popular saints from the legends of the early Church. Known for his strength and for carrying travelers across a dangerous river, St. Christopher's most famous legend involves him carrying a child who later reveals himself to be Christ. This narrative is central to the iconography of the saint and is often depicted in art.

In this particular engraving, Dürer presents St. Christopher in a rightward-facing profile, which is a departure from the more traditional frontal or leftward-facing representations. The rightward orientation may have symbolic significance, as the right side is traditionally associated with virtue and the divine in Christian iconography. The engraving showcases Dürer's mastery of the medium, with fine lines and intricate details that create a sense of texture and depth, demonstrating his skill in capturing both the physicality of the saint and the natural environment surrounding him.

The work measures approximately 11.5 x 7.4 cm and is executed with a remarkable level of detail, characteristic of Dürer's engravings. It reflects the artist's interest in human proportion, perspective, and his deep understanding of the natural world. The composition is balanced, with the figure of St. Christopher dominating the scene, set against a backdrop that includes a landscape and a distant view, which may be indicative of the spiritual journey and the path to salvation.

"St. Christopher Facing to the Right" is part of Dürer's mature period, which is marked by his engagement with religious themes and his exploration of the capabilities of printmaking as an art form. The engraving is held in various collections around the world and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the iconography of St. Christopher. It remains an important example of Dürer's technical prowess and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through the medium of print.
