About this work

Satirical print on the Catholics after their defeats in 1627 and 1629. Inscriptions refer to Spinola, Ferdinand, Pappenheim, and Cordua. Christ carries the lamb on his shoulders as the Good Shepherd, standing on the cornerstone. Beside him a preacher and the people. On the right, mourning Catholic priests and monks. At their feet the fires of hell and the head of the devil. In the sky King David, a female personification, and Paulus. With text panels containing various biblical quotations and other inscriptions. An older original plate from the second half of the sixteenth century cut and altered.
