"Inquisitor: Unveiling the Dark Chapters of History" Step into the shadows of history as we explore the captivating world of the Inquisition. From chilling trials to haunting scenes, this collection of artworks and illustrations offers a glimpse into an era shrouded in fear and persecution. José Antonio Alzate's "Map of Nueva España (1767)" sets the stage for our journey, depicting a land where religious authority held immense power. St. Dominic de Guzman confronts the Albigensians in 1493-99, captured vividly in oil on panel, showcasing the fervor that fueled these religious conflicts. The Trial of the Inquisition takes center stage with Eugenio Lucas' circa 1819 copy, transporting us back to a time when lives hung by a thread. Francisco Goya's "The Inquisition Scene" from 1808-1812 further immerses us in its horrors, his brushstrokes capturing both anguish and despair. Cisneros' Complutensian Polyglot Bible reveals another facet – an attempt to control knowledge through censorship. Its page from Genesis reminds us how even sacred texts were scrutinized under their watchful gaze. The Index et catalogus librorum prohibitorum (Index) exposes forbidden literature deemed dangerous by those wielding power within this institution. Its presence serves as a stark reminder that intellectual freedom was stifled during these times. Romance meets horror in "The Netherlands" illustration from The Romance of History series (1920s), reminding us how far-reaching and infamous this institution became across Europe. Meanwhile, Titian's masterpiece "The Death of St. Peter the Martyr" echoes tales of martyrdom endured by those who dared challenge orthodoxy. Calvinist Protestants persecuting English Catholics is immortalized through engravings that depict their relentless pursuit for conformity at any cost.
