1650
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is a 1650 by Karel van Mallery, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a man on a stage with three children and the devil playing instruments underneath him. This print is interesting because it shows a scene that's like a play. The man on stage seems to be performing, and the devil is playing music to accompany him. It's a unique combination of characters. The details in this print remind me of the technique used by artists who work with chiaroscuro.
The print titled *Saltator Mundanus* by Karel van Mallery shows a man performing on a stage while three children watch, with the devil playing instruments beneath him.
