'''Description of Artwork:''' Oscar Panizza, a turn-of-the-century modernist, made religious and political hypocrisy his main target. In Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany, he found no lack of inspiration. ''Das Liebeskonzil'' is a satire on the hypocrisy of religion. <P>

'''The Incident:''' The Liebeskonzil was banned by a Munich court in 1895, and Panizza was sentenced to a year in prison for blasphemy. <P>

'''Results of Incident''': Director Werner Schroeter made [[Das Liebeskonzil (film)]] in 1986  which also stirred controversy <P>
