A wall painting on the bridge tower of Frankfurt am Main, constructed between 1475 and 1507 near the gateway to the Jewish Ghetto and demolished in 1801, included a scene of the alleged ritual murder of Simon of Trent. Its upper panel depicts the child martyr Simon of Trent, subject of a blood libel case. The lower panel shows the Devil, or a devil with horns, looking on while at left, a Jewish woman is having sex with a goat, and in the foreground, two Jews are having sexual communion with a pig, while a Jewish child is suckling from the same pig.
