<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 10267633, member: 5833"]I'm not sure there's a narrative that goes with this, but the images all suggest lust & debauchery. Figure at the back, under the tree looks like Silenos/Silenus, a regular of the Dionysian revel rout. Guy on the left looks like an escapee from the commedia dell'arte. It's all ringing some distant bell, but can't place it at the moment. Hieronymus Bosch? Maybe there are 6 more plates with other deadly sins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
