EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intense devotion and penitence of the Penitents during Lent in the early 17th century. The Penitents, a religious brotherhood or confraternity, would publicly whip themselves as an act of self-flagellation and atonement for their sins. This practice was deeply rooted in Spanish and Portuguese Catholic tradition and was particularly popular among the nobility and courtiers. The scene depicted in this print, from the travelogue "Voyages faits en divers temps en Espagne, en Portugal, en Allemagne, en France et ailleurs" (Voyages Made in Various Times in Spain, Portugal, Germany, France and Elsewhere) published in 1700, shows a group of Penitents gathered in a dimly lit church. They are dressed in hooded robes and carry heavy, leather whips. Their faces are contorted in pain and concentration as they take turns whipping each other's backs. The bishops and clergy preside over the scene, their faces serious and somber. The Penitents' whipping rituals were often accompanied by processions through the streets, where they would be joined by large crowds. These public displays of penitence were intended to inspire awe and reverence, and to serve as a reminder of the importance of repentance and spiritual renewal during the Lenten season. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and religious life of early modern Europe, and the profound impact that religious customs and traditions had on daily life. It also underscores the importance of travel and exploration in the dissemination of knowledge and understanding of different cultures and practices.
