Allegorical and beautifully detailed, Albrecht Durer’s “The Knight, Death and the Devil” depicts the steady path of the faithful through life’s difficulties. Durer (1471 – 1528), a painter and printmaker who created numerous altarpieces, religious works, portraits and copper engravings, is often called the greatest artist of the German Renaissance. Durer often applied the anatomical theories of Leonardo da Vinci, whom he greatly admired, to his own work.
