"Katholieken geven zich over aan gulzigheid en wellust," (Catholics Surrender to Gluttony and Lust), is an etching created by the English artist William Loggan in 1681. This artwork depicts a scene of moral decay, with Catholic clergymen engaged in acts of gluttony and lust, surrounded by symbols of wealth and indulgence. The etching uses a dramatic composition and detailed rendering to highlight the theme of moral corruption, suggesting a critique of Catholic practices and a call for religious reform. The work is a powerful example of the use of art to communicate social and religious commentary.
