"De Rogstekers van Weert", a satirical print created by an anonymous artist between 1675 and 1720, depicts the absurdity of a battle between the citizens of Weert, Netherlands. This satirical print is a visual commentary on the human condition, using caricature to portray the absurdity of conflict and the folly of war. The scene is packed with comical figures, often grotesquely exaggerated, engaging in nonsensical battle tactics. This satirical artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a humorous critique of human behavior and the absurdity of war.
