Description

An example of a monster being depicted for a political purpose is the Monk Calf. Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472 - October 16, 1553), was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving. He also produced a number of violent anti-Catholic propaganda prints, in a cruder style, directed against the Papacy and the Catholic clergy. A monster is any creature, usually found in legends or horror fiction, that is often hideous and may produce fear or physical harm by its appearance and/or its actions. The word usually connotes something wrong or evil. A monster is generally morally objectionable, physically or psychologically hideous, and/or a freak of nature.
