"Derides: Unveiling the Art of Mockery Through Centuries" Step into a world where mockery takes center stage, as we explore the captivating artworks that deride and satirize.

Each drawing portrays a different type of fool; The Almost-Night Fool whose antics thrive under darkness, The Falsifier Fool who deceives with cunning tricks, The Fool Who Gives With Displeasure highlighting insincere generosity, The Goodness-Preventing Fool thwarting virtuous acts for personal gain, The Usury Fool exploiting others for financial gain, The Aufbutz Fool who revels
