Knight, Death, and the Devil

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a knight in full armor riding a horse. The horse faces left and the knight faces right. He holds a lance in his right hand. A devil-like creature with horns and a long beard rides a goat-like creature behind the knight on the right. A skeletal figure on foot rides a dog behind the knight on the left. A skull sits on the ground to the left. A town sits on a hill in the background. A tree sits on the left with the artist's signature on a plaque in the roots. A second tree sits on the right. The image is highly detailed and includes many other visual elements.
