An early allegorical and satirical engraving about the response of the Catholic Church to the Protestant Reformation in the mid 16th century. The image is divided between representations of the two opposing groups with a huge scale suspended from the ceiling in the middle. Leaders and proponents of the Catholic Church, aided by a little devil, are no match for their counterparts of the Reformation who have tipped the scale decidedly in their favor with nothing but a huge bible. 16th Century Paintings, Protestant Reformation, Pictorial Maps, Historic Buildings, Antique Prints, Catholic Church, Natural History, Devil, Monument
