Albrecht Dürer
• He is German painter, wood carver, engraver, and mathematician.
• He is best know for his woodcuts in series, including the Apocalypse (1498), two series on the crucifixion of Christ, the Great Passion (1498-1510) and Little Passion (1510-1511) as well as many of his individual prints, such as Knight, Death, and the Devil. He also made the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Knight, Death, and the Devil.
• Executed in 1513
• It depicted the Christian soul in the allegorical guise of a medieval knight.
• Knight armored with a spear, Death, Devil, a long-haired retriever, a city in the distance, and the inscription plate all bear a role in the drama performed in the wildness.
The tablet
S stands for the letter of knight.
15 is explicitly XV of the Tarot, Devil.
13 is XIII of the Tarot, Death.
• Dürer’s image seems a grim prophecy of the coming age, in which millioon people would die in religious wars.
