"Il Ciarlatano" is an engraving by Pieter van der Heyden, a Flemish printmaker and engraver of the 16th century, after a design by the renowned artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Created in 1556, the work is a satirical depiction of a charlatan or quack doctor, a common subject in art and literature that reflects societal concerns about deceit and gullibility. The engraving showcases van der Heyden's skill in translating Bruegel's detailed and moralistic vision into the medium of print, a collaboration that was typical of the period when painters often relied on skilled engravers to disseminate their works more widely.

In "Il Ciarlatano," the central figure is shown in the act of peddling his potions and remedies to an attentive crowd, illustrating the theme of human folly and the susceptibility of people to smooth-talking con artists. The detailed scene is rich with allegorical elements and characters that represent various facets of society and human nature, inviting viewers to reflect on the themes of trust, deception, and the search for easy solutions to life's problems.

This engraving is part of a larger body of work by van der Heyden, who was known for his interpretations of Bruegel's designs, and it contributes to the understanding of Northern Renaissance art, particularly in the context of social critique and the popular genre of moralizing prints. "Il Ciarlatano" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value, offering insight into the period's attitudes towards medicine, commerce, and the power of persuasion.
