"Negen kaarten met spotprenten op de Roomse Onfeilbaarheid" (Nine cards with caricatures on the Roman Infallibility), created in 1724 by an anonymous artist, is a satirical etching that mocks the Catholic Church's doctrine of papal infallibility. The nine cards depict various scenes, each illustrated with a playing card suit symbol, which are meant to be interpreted as symbolic representations of the church's authority. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into the religious tensions of the 18th century and critiques the perceived abuses of power within the Catholic Church.
