EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the banners of the Spanish Inquisition in both Spain and the Portuguese colony of Goa. The line engraving, created by Philipp van Limborch in 1692, transports us back to a significant period in history. The image is filled with symbolism and tells a story of power, religion, and colonialism. On the left side, we see the banner representing the Spanish Inquisition in its home country. A priest stands proudly beside it, holding a sword as a symbol of authority and control. The banner itself features a cross at its center, reminding us of the religious nature of this institution. On the right side, we are transported to Goa, where another banner representing the Spanish Inquisition can be seen. This colonial outpost was under Portuguese rule during this time period. The presence of this banner highlights how far-reaching and influential this institution was. The image is rich with detail - from the intricate engravings on each banner to the man standing beneath an olive branch nearby. These elements add depth to our understanding of this historical moment. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on a dark chapter in history when religious persecution played a prominent role in shaping societies across continents. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we must strive for tolerance and respect for all individuals regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds.
