"Knight, Death and the Devil" is a renowned copper engraving created by Albrecht Dürer in 1513. This masterpiece is part of a trio of engravings that also includes "Melencolia I" and "St. Jerome in His Study," known collectively as Dürer's Meisterstiche (master engravings).

In this artwork, a noble knight, mounted on a sturdy steed, is depicted traveling through a dark and eerie forest. The knight, dressed in full armor, is accompanied by two unwavering companions: Death, personified as a skeletal figure, and the Devil, a grotesque creature.

Despite the ominous presence of Death and the Devil, the knight maintains a resolute and stoic demeanor, symbolizing the virtues of courage and moral fortitude. The piece explores themes of chivalry, morality, and the human condition, making it a remarkable example of Northern Renaissance art.

Albrecht Dürer, sometimes spelled in English as Durer or Duerer, was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. Dürer's vast body of work includes engravings, his preferred technique in his later prints, altarpieces, portraits and self-portraits, watercolors, and books. His watercolors mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. Dürer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, has secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance.
