The pride of the beggar sitting on the train of haughtiness 1531

"The Pride of the Beggar Sitting on the Train of Haughtiness" is a painting by the German artist Albrecht Altdorfer created in 1531. It depicts a scene of social satire with a group of figures interacting in front of a grand, fortified castle. The beggar, in red, sits upon the trailing gown of a wealthy, disdainful figure as a jester gestures playfully to the right. Altdorfer's detailed portrayal of the figures and the landscape exemplifies the meticulous style of the Danube School. The artwork is now housed at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in Germany.
