"The Money Devil" is a 16th-century woodcut by the Workshop of Germain Hoyau and Olivier Truschet. The print depicts a winged, demonic figure, holding a bag of money, standing atop a chest. The chest is surrounded by cannons, being fired by various figures, which appear to be clergy and royalty. The work satirizes the greed and corruption of those who seek wealth. The use of intricate detail and symbolism helps to convey the powerful message of the piece. The print is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago and measures 326 x 472 mm (sheet).
