Fortitudo breidelt de zotheid : Allegorische voorstelling van de verzorging van leprozen en onnozelen

Anyone entering the Leper House boardroom would have noticed its spectacular ceiling. Eight allegorical scenes summarise the institution’s various tasks. The woman with the two children in the centre represents Charity. Seated on a lion, Folly is led by Reason to the throne of Plenty, from which wealth pours out onto us below.
