Anti-clerical art is a genre of art portraying clergy, especially Roman Catholic clergy, in unflattering contexts.[1] It was especially popular in France during the second half of the 19th century, at a time that the anti-clerical message suited the prevailing political mood. Typical paintings show cardinals in their bright red robes engaging in unseemly activities within their lavish private quarters.
