An armoured knight rides steadily through a rocky gorge, ignoring Death, a rotting corpse on a pale horse holding up an hourglass, and a goat-horned devil behind him. With Melencolia I and Saint Jerome in His Study it forms Dürer's three master engravings. The knight is usually read as the Christian soldier holding to his faith, with the city on the hill as his goal.
Look closer
A skull lies directly in the knight's path, and his dog runs alongside. The tablet at lower left carries Dürer's monogram and the date 'S. 1513'.
