THE CHOIR’S DEVIL
From the painting JOHANNES AUF PATMOS, Gemäldegalerie Berlin
This theatrical black freak could be a Tytinillus. This spy kept an eye on the clergymen who were members of the choir. If the gentlemen didn't keep their minds on the lesson or if they let their thoughts wander off into undesired directions, then, on Judgement Day, they were confronted with the accurate notes of this spectacled bookkeeper. What his plans were with the hook remains open to question. This instrument was normally used by the devil to drag sinful souls into hell.
