Folly of drunkenness, Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert, 1556 Canvas Print
A deser pulls a huge scale with both hands, which is held up by the sky. He chooses the side of the scales that Bacchus sits on. The god of wine raises a wine glass and sits on a wine barrel. Christ, with crown of thorns and cross, sits on the other side of the scales. He lets the gos for it. Next to him two children. One plays with a hobbyhorse, the other with dolls. The print can be interpreted as an allusion to the life of man. After his childhood, he will have to choose between piety and earthly lusts. The print has a Dutch and Latin caption.
