"The Knight, Death, and the Devil" is a renowned copper engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, completed in 1513. As one of Dürer's most compelling and powerful works, it belongs to a group of his master engravings, which also includes "Melencolia I" and "Saint Jerome in His Study." Measuring approximately 24.5 × 19.1 cm, this intricate print depicts a scene of moral allegory, showcasing a lone knight riding through a narrow gorge flanked by the personifications of Death and the Devil.

The knight, who is often interpreted as a symbol of moral fortitude and Christian faith, is shown in full armor, riding steadfastly on his horse, seemingly undistracted by the menacing figures that accompany him. Death is represented as a decaying corpse holding an hourglass, a reminder of life's transience, while the Devil lurks behind, depicted as a monstrous creature with a pig's snout. The engraving is rich in detail and symbolism, and its precise execution reflects Dürer's mastery of the medium.

"The Knight, Death, and the Devil" is frequently discussed in the context of the period's religious and philosophical ideas, particularly those related to humanism and the Reformation. The work is thought to be influenced by the writings of the Dutch humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam, who emphasized the inner strength and virtue of the Christian knight as he navigates the moral challenges of life.

Dürer's engraving has been praised for its technical brilliance and its complex interplay of themes, including the nature of human existence, the struggle between good and evil, and the Christian concept of salvation. It remains one of the most studied and admired prints from the Renaissance period, and it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest for its artistic, cultural, and historical significance. The original engraving is held in various museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London.
