Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was a painter, printmaker,
and a theorist of the German Renaissance.

The subject illustrates the conversion of the pagan Eustace to Christianity
while riding with his hounds through the forest.
Here, he finds God in the form of a stag with a crucifix between its antlers.
The print bears witness to Dürer's intense interest and skill in depicting nature.
