EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Inquisition 'Autodafe presides by Saint Dominique de Guzman" transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a scene of religious fervor and power. The image is a miniature from Vincent de Beauvais' "Le miroir historial" depicting the founder of the Dominican Order, Saint Dominique de Guzman (1170-1221), presiding over an autodafe. In this intense moment, we witness the burning of both a heretical book and an orthodox book. The flames symbolize the eradication of opposing beliefs and emphasize the authority held by Saint Dominique as he enforces orthodoxy within his order. The composition is rich with symbolism: an aureole surrounds Saint Dominique's head, signifying his holiness; a beggar with crutches represents human misery and poverty; while coins in a purse highlight acts of charity towards those less fortunate. These elements speak to themes such as equity, generosity, and religious quest prevalent during that period. This artwork not only captures historical events but also serves as an illumination into medieval society's complex relationship with religion. It reminds us how faith was intertwined with political power and how individuals like Saint Dominique played pivotal roles in shaping religious doctrine. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture brings this fascinating piece to life once again, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate details and contemplate its significance within art history.
