"I was 11 at the time and very happy she let me take it. It’s been tucked away in a cupboard at home with all my other antique finds for the last 13 years... I was amazed to find out it was special." Mat Winter reflects on the fortuitous discovery of the engraving he found in a rubbish dump, stressing how a simple interaction led to uncovering a priceless work.
"It's one of Dürer's most famous and influential works. The discovery left antiques expert Jim Spencer shaking. The engraving was offered at auction with a guide price of £10,000-£20,000, but it exceeded expectations, fetching £26,500." Jim Spencer emphasizes the significance of the engraving titled Knight, Death and the Devil, both in its cultural heritage and in market value.
