I am looking for information about a certain picture, which was done by "Joseph Suss" of a "rabbi" playing chess; I was wondering if anyone knows if this was done by the same joseph suss, or if there is a second one...

I'm sure there is more than one. Joseph has always been a popular name, with Jews as well as with Christians, and Suess, Suesskind…are popular names, too. -- Prorokini 00:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

That painting that you're referring to (can be found on the internet by searching for "Joseph Suss") is a relatively new painting; made in the last 100 years; or more likely quite recent. The board looks modern and the style of the dress is less then 150 years old. On the other hand Joseph Sus Oppenheimer (1698-1738) wasn't an artist; although there are roundels (colored small round drawings) depicting his trial and tribulations that were done at the time of his hanging in 1738.

[edit] Bird Cage

Gibbeting is done as a deterrence to potential other criminals. He was actually placed in a "bird cage" to humiliate and demean him. Numerous antisemitic medals were issued in 1738; one depicting him in a noose; another depicting him in a human size bird cage with ravens eating his flesh; with the bird cage hanging in the square.
