EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving captures a haunting scene from the dark era of the Spanish Inquisition. In this 16th-century procession, we witness the grim fate of those condemned by this ruthless institution. The figures, dressed in robes and cassocks, march solemnly through the streets of Spain under the watchful eyes of priests and monks. The image evokes a sense of persecution and fear as these individuals face their penance for being labeled heretics. Their expressions are filled with anguish and resignation, knowing that they will soon be subjected to an auto de fe - a public act of faith where they would be punished or even executed. The artist's attention to detail transports us back to the Renaissance period when religious intolerance was at its peak. Each line etched into this wood engraving tells a story of suffering endured by countless souls during this dark chapter in history. This print is taken from John Foxe's Book of Martyrs, an influential account that documented acts of religious persecution across Europe. It serves as a chilling reminder not only of the atrocities committed during the Spanish Inquisition but also as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this image, let it serve as a poignant reminder that freedom should never be taken for granted and that tolerance must always prevail over oppression.
