Caricatures of the French clergy under Louis XIV
Cornelis Dusart and Jacob Gole collaborated on these two series of virulent anti-Catholic caricatures. This series consists of more than fifty prints of monks and nuns who embody sinful behaviour, vice and abuses within the Catholic Church. The heads (no portraits of historical individials but caricatures) exhibit attributes and traces of gluttony, heavy drinking, false piety and lust.
