Saint Martin with his Horse on a Ship, c. 1561. Johannes I van Doetecum (d. 1605), Lucas van Doetecum (active 1554-1572), after Hieronymus Bosch (Netherlandish, 1440-1516). Etching on laid paper; plate: 33.8 x 42.7 cm (13 5/16 x 16 13/16 in.). During the 16th century, November 11 brought the feast day of Saint Martin in Northern Europe, accompanied by boisterous parties and drinking St. Martin’s wine.” This print depicts one such feast gone awry, with the sins of gluttony, greed, and sloth on full display among the crowd of beggars and devils who fight for their chance at the wine, or for no apparent reason. In the center of the scene, Saint Martin stands ready to divide his cloak in order to share it with a beggar, the single act of charity in the scene.
