"The Blue-Blooded Man and the Devil" (Der Blaublütige und der Teufel) is a 1911 satirical work by German artist Moriz Jung. The artwork is divided into four panels, each depicting a scene in a graphic and exaggerated style. Jung's work is known for its sharp social commentary and this piece humorously criticizes the upper class through the juxtaposition of the "blue-blooded" man and the devilish figure. This work, created during a time of significant societal changes, reflects the anxieties and tensions of the early 20th century.
