EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Auto da fe in Valladolid, a religious court established at the behest of the Catholic Kings to probe and penalize crimes against faith. The image showcases an engraving from the 15th century, vividly depicting this solemn event that took place during Spain's Inquisition period. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, bringing to life the gravity of this religious tribunal. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to witness justice being served for offenses related to religion. The unknown artist has masterfully captured both the grandeur and severity of this occasion. Intriguingly horizontal in composition, this historical artwork invites us into its narrative as if we were present at that very moment. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a central role in shaping societies throughout history and highlights Spain's autonomous region of Madrid's connection to these events. Preserved within the National Library in Madrid, this engraving stands as a testament to our collective past and offers valuable insights into one aspect of Spain's rich cultural heritage. Santiago Ortega expertly brings forth these details through his lens, allowing us to reflect on an era when punishment was meted out for crimes against faith under the watchful eyes of kings and religious authorities.
