来自大波伦的巴尔托卢斯·古尔萨尔卡维茨,来自加利西亚的无名之辈,版画29 by Elias Baeck, 1710-1719

Meet Bartholdus, the grumpiest pilgrim in art history! This 18th-century engraving by Elias Baeck serves as a savage visual roast, depicting a bearded man in full pilgrimage gear—complete with a staff and a hat covered in scallop shells—while two laughing jesters mock him from the sides. The German text below acts as a poetic diss track, labeling this 'unworthy' forest brother from Poland as a shameful figure with a big head but little sense. It’s a hilarious slice of Baroque satire, poking fun at religious wanderers with a goat staring judgmentally from the bottom border.
