"Knight, Death and the Devil," an engraving by Albrecht Durer from 1513, symbolizes moral virtue and the active life, influencing centuries of art and philosophy.
At just 11 years old, Matt Winter found the Durer engraving in a landfill, where it had been discarded, and kept it for 13 years before selling it.
The print sold at auction for $33,390, far surpassing its pre-sale estimate, and showcases the extraordinary value of historical art discoveries.
This engraving is one of Durer's three Meisterstiche, reflecting Medieval philosophy's virtuous spheres, demonstrating the profound impact of art on cultural narratives.
