EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving captures the chilling scene of the Inquisition in 18th century Portugal. The image depicts a solemn procession through the streets of Lisbon, as citizens gather to witness an Auto De Fe - a public ceremony where individuals were tried and sentenced by the Inquisition.
The artist has masterfully captured the tension and fear that permeated Portuguese society during this dark period of religious persecution. The figures in the engraving are rendered with intricate detail, their faces etched with expressions of dread and resignation.
The vibrant colors used in this print serve as a stark contrast to the somber subject matter, highlighting the spectacle and theatricality that often accompanied these public trials. The crowded city square adds to the sense of claustrophobia and oppression felt by those living under the shadow of the Inquisition.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the power dynamics at play during this tumultuous time - where faith was weaponized to control and oppress dissenting voices. This engraving serves as a haunting reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty and intolerance, urging us to reflect on our own beliefs and actions in today's world.
