Sculpture "Knight" Death and the Devil

In the Alexander Park of Tsarskoye Selo, behind the White Tower there is a mysterious and eerie sculpture "Knight, Death and the Devil", created by the famous engraving of the greatest master of the Northern Renaissance, German graphic artist and artist Albrecht Durer. This engraving is one of the three Great engravings of the master, created at the beginning of the XVI century. Against the background of the ruin, a complex four-figure composition looks very organically. An unflappable knight in armor on a war horse, next to him on a boned rag - death in the crown and an hourglass in his hands, symbolizing the transience of earthly time. Behind the ugly monster is the devil, the symbol of vice. He is accompanied by only one friend, his dog.
