EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "An Auto De Fe. From The Book Of Martyrs By John Foxe, Published C. 1865" takes us back to the medieval era, where faith and religion played a central role in society. This image captures an intense moment during an auto de fe - a public ritual of punishment carried out by the Catholic Church. The prisoner at the center of this solemn act stands condemned for his beliefs, facing the consequences of his alleged heresy or apostasy. Surrounding him are inquisitors and spectators alike, witnessing this harrowing display of religious authority and power. The scene is reminiscent of a time when religious persecution was rampant throughout Europe. In particular, this portrayal seems to reflect Portuguese history during the Middle Ages when auto de fes were prevalent as part of the Inquisition's efforts to maintain orthodoxy. Ken Welsh's masterful capture transports us back in time, allowing us to contemplate the complexities surrounding martyrdom and belief systems that shaped societies during those tumultuous years. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, understanding our historical roots is crucial for comprehending how faith has influenced human behavior across centuries.
