"Condamnation: A Haunting Journey Through the Depths of Justice and Punishment" Step into a world where justice takes on chilling forms, as we explore the concept of "condamnation. " From ancient civilizations to more recent times, this captivating journey delves into the dark corners of human history. In 1936, at the Palace of Justice in Milan, Italy, a marble bas-relief titled "Fascist justice: 'Justice sitting on the trunk of the Tree of Good and Evil'" depicts an eerie scene that questions the very essence of fairness. The image lingers in our minds as we ponder its implications. Traveling back further in time, we encounter an astonishing tale from Uganda. Sir H. M. Stanley's plea for mercy saved an old prisoner condemned to be burned alive. Emile Bayard's drawing brings this story to life, illustrating Stanley's courageous act in his quest through "Through the Mysterious Continent. " Religious symbolism intertwines with condemnation as we witness Saint-Mandet Church's Way of the Cross in Ferriere-sur-Larcon (1931). Each station tells a harrowing story that reflects upon humanity's capacity for cruelty and redemption. The consequences faced by false witnesses are revealed through a manuscript from Angers' Municipal Library. Here, individuals with pierced tongues are sentenced to wander city streets while being preceded by miniature trumpet players—a haunting reminder of deceit's repercussions. Gilles de Rais (Retz ou Rays) faces his fate during his trial known as "Proces. " This 15th-century miniature showcases his execution for murder and heresy—an event that sends shivers down our spines even centuries later. A cassone panel transports us back to ancient Rome when rebellion led to Appius Claudius' demise in 451 BC. Painted with vivid strokes depicting chaos and death, it serves as a stark reminder that power struggles often result in tragic outcomes. Ancient civilizations were no strangers to brutal punishments.
