Monnik met een vlag Possibly 1670 - 1724

"Monnik met een vlag" (Monk with a flag) is an etching by Dutch artist Jacob Gole. The artwork depicts a caricature of a monk with a large, exaggerated face, a rosary and a small flag bearing the word "Victoria," which translates to victory. The monk is holding a flag with the word "Victoria" inscribed on it, a symbol of triumph and success, adding to the satirical nature of the piece. This artwork is likely a satirical critique of religious figures during the 17th and 18th centuries, highlighting the hypocrisy of those who profess faith. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
