Blinden leiden de blinden 1866 - 1904

"Blinden leiden de blinden" (The Blind Leading the Blind), is a 19th-century print by French artist Emile Jean Sulpis (1856-1943). This etching portrays the parable of the blind leading the blind, a biblical story that warns against following those who themselves lack knowledge or guidance. Sulpis depicts a group of blindfolded individuals, each carrying a staff and guided by the one in front, culminating in a fall into a ditch. The print's stark realism underscores the potential dangers of blindly following others, particularly in matters of faith and morality.
