From LinkedCulture
A knight drops to his knees before a stag with a glowing crucifix blazing between its antlers, his hands raised, his horse standing massive beside him, while five hounds scatter across the foreground in distinct, carefully observed poses. Albrecht Dürer made this engraving around 1501, and it remains one of the most technically demanding prints he ever produced. Every tuft of grass, every strand of fur, every stone on the distant castle is rendered with almost obsessive precision, proving that printmaking could rival painting itself.
