This enchanting engraving, printed in around 1501, shows the conversion of a Roman general named Placidus. As traditionally told, while out hunting, Placidus saw a crucifix appear between a stag's antlers. The stag spoke in Christ's voice, leading Placidus to fall from his horse and become a Christian, baptized with the name Eustace. The print has long been admired as an exemplar of Albrecht Dürer's extraordinary skill; the animals and features of the landscape served as models for artists for the following century.

The work is now up for auction from an Important Private American Collection, as the top lot of our inaugural sale dedicated to Old Master Prints. Click the link in bio to learn more.
