Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528)
St Eustace c.1501
St Eustace was a Roman general who converted to Christianity on discovering a Crucifixion in a stag’s antlers while out hunting. He was a popular saint in Germany in the early sixteenth century. This print, which shows the saint kneeling before the stag, is Dürer’s largest engraving.
