Spanish Inquisition
Engraving depicting the Spanish Inquisition. The Spanish Inquisition, formally, the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under papal control.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history - the Spanish Inquisition. The engraving depicts the establishment of the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. This tribunal aimed to uphold Catholic orthodoxy within their kingdoms, replacing the medieval inquisition under papal control. Intriguingly, this image showcases Spain during circa 1560, offering us a glimpse into a tumultuous period marked by religious tensions and persecution. The Spanish Inquisition primarily focused on ensuring the adherence to Catholicism among recent converts, particularly Jews, Muslims, and other minority groups. The fine details captured in this print allow viewers to immerse themselves in its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even art can bear witness to dark chapters from our past. As we gaze upon this engraving's intricate lines and haunting imagery, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for both faith and intolerance. Through Fotosearch's lens, this photograph invites contemplation about how religion has shaped societies throughout time. It prompts reflection on our collective responsibility to learn from history so that such injustices are not repeated.
