"Epileptics Walking to the Left” engraving

Three epileptic women each supported by two men. The artwork is widely interpreted as showing the dancing mania of the Middle Ages, referred to as St. John's dance, St. Vitus dance, or La Danse de Saint-Guy. Engraving by Dutch engraver Hendrik Hondius the Younger (1597-1651) in 1642, after Pieter Brueghel (approximately 1525-1569). (Source: Wellcome Collection, London, UK. Public Domain Mark.)
