"Fanaticism: A Historical Journey through Extremes" In the realm of art, "Mechanical idol, 1925-26" portrays a society consumed by its own creations, worshipping materialistic ideals. Meanwhile, "Flagellants, 1493" and "Flagellants in the Netherlands town of Tournai (Doornik), 1349" depict religious fanatics seeking redemption through self-inflicted pain. "Gedeon (Gideon) destroys the altar of Baal, " an engraving from The Holy History of Lahure in the 19th century, showcases one man's determination to eradicate idolatry. Similarly, during the First Crusade, Peter the Hermit rallied Christians with his cry of "God wills it, " exposing their suffering at the hands of Turks. The Ismaili sect founded by Hassan ibn al-Sabbah is known for its extremist acts. In Alamut, Persia, he ordered two followers to commit suicide as a testament to their fanaticism. Another act that shook society was Caserio's assassination of President Sadi Carnot in 1894. Historical events like "The Michelade at Nimes on September 29th and 30th, 1567" and "The Tyranny of Duke Alba" demonstrate how they are lead to violence and oppression. These incidents highlight how individuals or groups can become blinded by their beliefs. During the Council of Clermont in Auvergne, Peter the Hermit preached for the First Crusades with fervor fueled by faith - proclaiming God's desire for holy war. Honore Daumier's caricature depicts voters prostrating themselves before ballot boxes during elections - a satirical commentary on blind devotion to universal suffrage. Lastly, we witness extreme measures taken within religious schisms such as auto-immolation during protests against reforms within Moscow's Orthodox Church in 1666-1667.
