De Mosselschelp, Johann Theodor de Bry, 1596 Canvas Print
Satire on the ecclesiastical state in the 16th century. A riotous group of nuns and priests is packed together in an open mussel shell. There is eating, eating and playing music. Apart from the bagpipes, no real but so-called charivari instruments - here the fireplace grid and the bellows - are "played". In this way it is made clear that here the moral norms and values of the monastics are reversed. Emblem No. 13 in Emblemata Saecularia, 1596 and No. 34 in the second edition of 1611.
