EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intense and dramatic scene from the past, capturing an "Auto-Da-Fe" procession in Spain during the Middle Ages. The image is a reproduction of a 15th-century engraving featured in Paul Lacroix's renowned book, "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" published in London around 1880. The procession depicted here represents an "Act of Faith" a significant event that took place during the Spanish Inquisition. This solemn religious ceremony was held to publicly punish heretics and those who were accused of deviating from Catholic orthodoxy. As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we are transported back to a time when religion played a dominant role in society, shaping both individual lives and collective beliefs. The composition exudes tension as individuals dressed in traditional attire march through the streets with somber expressions on their faces. The atmosphere is charged with fervor as onlookers observe from balconies above or gather along the cobblestone roads below. This powerful visual narrative serves as a reminder of how faith can be used as both a unifying force and one that divides societies. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details but also the emotional depth conveyed by each figure within this medieval tableau. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding our complex history while also evoking contemplation about humanity's relationship with faith throughout time.
