Complete Image

"Knight, Death and the Devil"

 

Known to the modern world as "Knight, Death and the Devil", this masterwork was known by the artist simply as "Reuter" (Rider). It is a truly magnificent image that contains evocative images rendered wonderfully - as may be expected - in superb detail.
