Humiliation of Canossa, Carnival in 1511, and Yersinia pestis.

I made a few illustrations for the satirical magazine called MATARAN. 
This one is about the Humiliation of Canossa, which is (L’umiliazione di Canossa), also called the Walk to Canossa or the Road to Canossa, was the ritual submission of the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, to Pope Gregory VII at Canossa Castle in 1077 during the Investiture controversy.
