Knight on Horseback 1512 Drawing, 239 x 173 mm Biblioteca Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Milan A preliminary study, drawn on both sides of the paper, for the masterly engraving of the Knight, Death and the Devil concentrates on the group comprising the horse and rider. From the proportional scheme drawn onto the sheet, it can be seen that D?rer precisely prepared the copper engraving in the same manner as his studies on the ideal proportions of the horse. While he did not change the depiction of the rider in the copper engravings, he altered details in the horse several times, for example correcting its right hind hoof both on the preliminary drawing and on the plate.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Knight on Horseback Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study b.May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of N??rnberg [Germany]
