EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling moment in history - the Auto de Fe in the Plaza Mayor, Madrid on 30 June 1680. The detail showcased here is truly mesmerizing, allowing us to delve into the depths of this significant event. Painted by Rizi or Ricci, Francisco (1608-85), this artwork now resides in Prado, Madrid. The image transports us back to a time when religious persecution was rampant and fear gripped the hearts of many. In this assembly, we witness an intense meeting where judaizers are put on trial by the Spanish Inquisition. The square is filled with both spectators and participants who have gathered for this solemn act of faith. The Plaza Mayor serves as a haunting backdrop for these proceedings. As heretics are condemned to their fate, the quemadero burns brightly at its center - a symbol of punishment and purification through fire. Through this photograph, we can almost hear the crackling flames and feel the tension that hung heavily in the air during such events. It reminds us of humanity's darker moments and serves as a poignant reminder of our capacity for intolerance. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail within this print from Fine Art Finder. It allows us to reflect upon history while urging us towards greater understanding and acceptance in our present day society.
