EDITORS COMMENTS
Bernard Delicieux before the Inquisition Tribunal, ca 1881. This painting by Jean-Paul Laurens takes us back to a dark chapter in history - the infamous Inquisition trials of France. The artist skillfully captures the tension and drama of this moment as Bernard Delicieux stands defiantly before the tribunal. Delicieux, a figure shrouded in controversy, finds himself at the mercy of an aristocratic court that holds his fate in their hands. The composition masterfully portrays both his vulnerability and unwavering determination to defend his beliefs against all odds. Laurens' use of oil on canvas adds depth and richness to every brushstroke, enhancing our immersion into this historical scene. The genre of history painting comes alive through Laurens' meticulous attention to detail, from the ornate courtroom setting to the expressions etched upon each character's face. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the power dynamics at play during this era - where denunciation and defamation could lead even noble souls like Delicieux into condemnation. As we gaze upon this masterpiece found within the esteemed State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg, we are transported back in time to witness an auto de fe unfold before our eyes. Let us reflect on how far society has come since those days while acknowledging that such moments should never be forgotten or repeated.
