Abstract
This engraving by Francesco Bertelli is titled Maschare da Ebrei (Mask of Jews). The masks the gentlemen wear have long noses and resemble something of the Zanni or Medico della peste (The Plague Doctor), but in reality caricature the stereotypical image of the Jew. The books they hold also indicate the notion of importance with which the Jews regard education and intellectualism.
