St. George on horseback., Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1508, Germany, engraving, This engraving is the last work before Albrecht Dürer's sudden departure on a second trip to Venice in order to escape the Great Plague. The print was probably almost complete because the date 1505 had already been engraved in the plate at the bottom. It was subsequently corrected to read 1508. The background is deliberately reduced in scale for sake of contrast and any indication of a landscape is omitted
