This is Dürer’s largest and, in its wealth of pictorial detail, most ambitious engraving. It demonstrates the artist’s intense scientific interest in nature. The subject of St Eustace’s sudden conversion to Christianity when confronted by a stag with a crucifix between its antlers provided Dürer with the opportunity to depict a variety of animals in different poses, together with a magnificent landscape. In this print Dürer brilliantly manipulated the engraving medium to realise his composition in terms of overall tonal modulation and textural description, rather than clearly differentiated contour lines.Text © National Gallery of Victoria, Australia
