beskrivelse:
The caricature shows a fat monk, used as bagpipe by the devil. The monk-bagpipe is not Martin Luther (as asserted in some popular literature), but a representative of contemporaneous monasticism which is denunciated to be inspired by the devil. The German text says:
Once I (the devil) piped here and there
with such pipes, which where very numerous.
I piped many fairy tales, dreams and fantasies.
Now it's over and the pipes destroyed (by the Lutheran reformation)
which makes me sad and angry.
But I hope this won't last long
because in the world there is enough haughtiness,
sin, fraud and ruse.
