Description

Some folks will believe anything and that’s just what Till counts on as he pranks his way around the world. Till Eulenspiegel, a classic trickster character from Medieval folklore shows us how important a little foolishness can be. Zwerger's paintings are populated by a panoply of peasants and kings, who laugh with Eulenspiegel even as they are being duped.
