Albrecht Dürer’s engraving The Knight, Death and the Devil has held a place of special prominence in the German mind, and has served art historians for ends of an occasionally ideological nature. In his book, Pierre Vaisse traces the history of the reception of this work and sheds light on the societal effects of its various interpretations, hence underscoring the social responsibility of present day intellectuals.
