EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemnity and gravity of a grand procession during the 18th century in Lisbon, Portugal. The image depicts criminals who have been sentenced by the Inquisition, accompanied by clergymen and religious figures from the Catholic Church. This procession represents a powerful concept of punishment within Christianity, as those convicted are paraded through the streets before their ultimate fate at an auto-da-fe. The vibrant colors of this engraving bring to life the scene filled with people witnessing this act of humiliation and religious persecution. The heretics, accused of committing crimes against Roman Catholicism, walk alongside priests and clergyman who symbolize both authority and condemnation. In this moment frozen in time, one can sense the weight of centuries-old religious laws that governed society. The print serves as a reminder of how religion played a significant role in shaping not only individual lives but also entire countries' legal systems. As we gaze upon this historical artifact created by Anon, we are transported back to an era where faith dictated both belief systems and punishments for deviance. It is through prints like these that we gain insight into our past while reflecting on how far we have come in terms of justice and tolerance today.
