The Knight, Death and the Devil 1513

Albrecht Dürer’s 1513 engraving *The Knight, Death, and the Devil* is a powerful depiction of a knight on horseback, confidently riding through a rocky landscape, with Death and the Devil flanking him. The knight, in full armor, remains unfazed by the skeletal figure of Death on the left, holding an hourglass, symbolizing the inevitability of time, and the horned, winged Devil on the right, tempting the knight with a spear. Dürer's masterful use of line and shading creates a dramatic composition, capturing the knight's unwavering resolve in the face of mortality and temptation.
