Cornelis Dusart and Jacob Gole collaborated on these two series of virulent anti-Catholic caricatures. This one consists of satirical portraits of the architects and agents of the policy of Protestant oppression under Louis XIV. Jacob Gole himself was a Huguenot refugee from France. These champions of Louis’s Catholic politics are presented as monks wrapped up in drinking and dicing.
