Engraving of an armored knight on horseback with a dog and skull, a horned devil behind him, and a castle on a distant hill.

Ridder, Dood en Duivel

An armored knight rides a horse along a shadowy wooded path in this black-and-white engraving, with a hound trotting at lower center and a skull on the ground at lower left. A grotesque figure with a goat-like head and horns looms behind the knight, while a castle rises on a distant rocky hill. Fine crosshatched lines model every surface.

Español: Caballero, la Muerte y el Diablo (grabado de Durero, 1513)

Un caballero con armadura cabalga por un sendero sombrío entre árboles en este grabado en blanco y negro, con un perro al centro inferior y una calavera en el suelo a la izquierda. Detrás del caballero aparece una figura grotesca con cabeza de cabra y cuernos, y a lo lejos se alza un castillo sobre una colina rocosa. Las líneas finas cruzadas modelan cada superficie.
