"The Sea Monster" is a renowned engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in approximately 1498. This work is emblematic of Dürer's early exploration into printmaking, a medium through which he would achieve significant acclaim and influence throughout Europe. The engraving depicts a dramatic scene in which a mermaid, or a sea nymph, is seen riding on the back of a fantastical sea creature, surrounded by an array of other marine life and a distant landscape.

Measuring 247 x 187 mm, "The Sea Monster" is characterized by its intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow, showcasing Dürer's mastery of the engraving technique. The composition is rich with allegorical and mythological references, common in the art of the Northern Renaissance, and reflects the period's fascination with the natural world, exploration, and the unknown.

The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Dürer's skill in conveying narrative through visual art. It is also noted for its influence on the depiction of marine subjects in the art of the time. "The Sea Monster" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Albrecht Dürer and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Renaissance art history.
