"The Knight and the Lansquenet" is a woodcut print by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the early 16th century. This work is part of Dürer's larger body of woodcuts, which were revolutionary for their intricate detail and technical mastery. The print depicts a knight, fully armored and mounted on a horse, accompanied by a lansquenet, a type of mercenary soldier that was common during the Renaissance period. The lansquenet is characterized by his flamboyant dress and the long pike he carries.

Dürer's woodcuts are known for their complex iconography and symbolism, and "The Knight and the Lansquenet" is no exception. The image has been interpreted in various ways, with some scholars suggesting that it represents the contrast between the ideals of chivalry embodied by the knight and the more pragmatic, perhaps mercenary, approach to warfare represented by the lansquenet. Others have read the print as a commentary on the social changes and tensions of Dürer's time, as the traditional chivalric order was giving way to the rise of professional armies.

The print is executed with the high level of skill that characterizes Dürer's work, showcasing his ability to render texture, form, and perspective. The precise lines and careful shading demonstrate the artist's mastery of the woodcut medium, which he helped elevate to a form of high art during the Renaissance.

"The Knight and the Lansquenet" is part of Dürer's exploration of human figures and their roles within society, a theme that is prevalent throughout his oeuvre. The work is held in various collections around the world and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance. It stands as a testament to Dürer's enduring impact on printmaking and his insightful commentary on the human condition.
