| | | | 'Cure of Folly' or 'Extraction of the Stone of Madness' represents one of the satirical images popular in most countries in Northern Europe. The inscription at the top reads:'Master cuts out the stone – my name is Lubert Das (Lubert Das = fool). Instead of a stone, Bosh painted a tulip, a Dutch metaphor for foolishness. |
