Getting started with the collection:
Knight, Death, and the Devil
Albrecht Dürer (mentioned on object), 1513
This is Dürer’s most famous print, and it has been subject to widely differing interpretations in the course of time. The ‘christian knight’, the tireless warrior who cannot be deterred from his path, is probably depicted here. Neither Death on his emaciated overworked nag, nor the laughable, cross-eyed, pig-snouted Devil can stop him.
