A festival of fools, Middle Ages
A festival of fools, Middle Ages. A large crowd of fools in hoods with ears and cockscombs dancing, tumbling, pulling each others noses, playing ball games, beating drums. Infinite is the number of fools. Stultorum infinitus est numerus, Ecclesiastes. Lithograph after an engraving by Jean Galle after Pieter Bruegel the Elder from Henry Rene d'Allemagne's Recreations et Passe-Temps, Games and Pastimes, Hachette, Paris, 1906
