"Venus, Podagra, and Bacchus"

Sitting under grapevines heavy with fruit is Podagra who, though looking like the wise philosopher, personifies the excess represented by Venus and Bacchus who are sitting beside him. Note the cane for Podagra (gout) and the large glass of alcohol (presumably wine) for Bacchus. (Source: From the frontispiece of Scriptum apologetico-politicum de podagra oder das so benahmte ...
