EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The publication of Charles Vs edits in Antwerp: in 1550". The engraving, based on the painting by Baron Henri Leys, depicts a scene that reflects the religious turmoil of its time. In this powerful image, we witness the enforcement of a law that sends shivers down one's spine. The law states that anyone found guilty of heresy will face brutal consequences - being burned at the stake, buried alive, or decapitated. It is an eerie reminder of the harsh punishments imposed during this period. The artist skillfully portrays the tension and fear gripping Antwerp as people gather around to witness these chilling events unfold. The expressions on their faces reveal a mix of horror, disbelief, and perhaps even resignation to their fate. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when religion played an influential role in society and dissenting beliefs were met with extreme measures. It serves as a stark reminder of how power can be abused and lives shattered due to differences in faith. This historical engraving by Stefano Bianchetti not only showcases his artistic talent but also invites us to reflect upon our own values and appreciate the freedom we enjoy today.
