EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Auto-da-fe in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid, 1683. The detail of this painting by Francisco Rizi transports us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a scene filled with color and emotion. The Auto-da-fe was an event organized by the Spanish Inquisition, aimed at publicly punishing those accused of heresy or other religious crimes. This particular ceremony took place in the iconic Plaza Mayor of Madrid, where crowds gathered to witness these acts of faith and punishment. In this image, we see a horizontal composition that showcases the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion. The oil painting technique employed by Rizi brings depth and richness to every brushstroke, enhancing our understanding of this historical event. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that religion played a central role during this time period. The Auto-da-fe served as both a display of religious devotion and a means for enforcing orthodoxy within society. Displayed proudly at Museo del Prado in Spain's Community of Madrid, Santiago Ortega has expertly captured this detail from Rizi's larger masterpiece. It serves as a reminder not only of Spain's complex history but also highlights how art can preserve moments that shape our collective memory.
