One man’s trash…

A 500-year-old engraving by Northern Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer, once rescued from a garbage dump, is now up for auction, with an estimated value of £10,000 to £20,000. Mat Winter, who found the print as a boy while rummaging through a Kent dump, kept it tucked away for years. On a whim, he sent it for appraisal, where experts confirmed it as Dürer’s "Knight, Death, and the Devil" (1513). Initially dismissed, the print's incredible detail and provenance now place it among Dürer’s prized master prints, a remarkable find hidden in plain sight.
