Albrecht Dürer started training to become a draftsman in his fathers goldsmith workshop. Because of his high skill level, he created an incredible self portrait at just 13 years in 1484. By 1485, he made a gothic-style work of art.

Dürer's Knight, Death, and the Devil is one of three large prints of 1513-14 known as his Meisterstiche (master engravings). The other two are Melancholia I and Saint Jerome in His Study.
