From LinkedCulture
This tiny engraving is no bigger than a playing card, yet Albrecht Dürer packed an entire world into it. Made around 1496, when Dürer was in his mid-twenties, the print shows a bearded rider on a powerful horse at full stride, sword at his side, raising a horn or staff as a distant castle fades into the wooded hills behind him. His interlocked monogram sits at the bottom center. It matters because Dürer used graduated cross-hatching here to prove that engraving could rival painting in its depth and drama.
