after Albrecht Dürer (*1471): Knight, Death and the Devil, 18th c., Engraving
Beschreibung: after Albrecht Dürer (1471 Nürnberg - 1528 Nürnberg): Knight, Death and the Devil, 18th century, Copper Engraving
Technique: Copper Engraving on paper
Size: 24,2 x 18,7 cm | 9 1/2 x 7 1/3 in
Condition: Paper slightly browned, slight horizontal central fold, two small spots at the height of the rider's knee, lower left and lower left margin trimmed minimally within the platemark. Otherwise with narrow margin around the platemark. At the back side remains of old mountings.
Description: Very high quality copy after Dürer's master engraving, probably from the 18th or early 19th century. With Dürer's monogram but without date. Listed by Heller as No. 1014. The horseman is one of the three master engravings by Dürer from 1513/1514 and has already been the subject of countless interpretations. The copy of this famous engraving is of deceptive accuracy, which is only slightly less in the facial features of the figures depicted. In contrast to the original, the year "1513" and the letter "S" are missing in the lower left-hand corner of the plate.
