'KNIGHT, DEATH & The DEVIL' 1513

 

The Christian Knight in a Northern forest, Germany

‘Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil' (Psalm 23), could be a caption for this engraving. The horseman is the 'Knight of Christ', death is at the horse's feet in the form of a skull, beside the plaque with Dürer's monogram. Death is also the ghastly corpse without nose or lips, who holds a hourglass up to the knight as a reminder that his time on earth is limited. The knight rides on, looking neither to the right, left, nor backwards, where the Devil, with an ingratiating grin, seems powerless while ignored. High above this dark forest rises a safe stronghold, apparently the destination of the knight's journey.

This HIGH QUALITY original Victorian copper engraving was printed  in the late 1800's  on hand made paper. There are no real issues with the print, which It has been affixed to the backing board.
