EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the haunting Sambenitos worn by Auto-da-Fe penitents during the Spanish Inquisition. Taken from Paul Lacroix's renowned work, "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" this lithograph offers a glimpse into a dark chapter of history. Published in London around 1880, it is now part of a private collection. The Sambenitos depicted here were more than mere garments; they symbolized the severity of punishment handed down to each penitent. On the left, we see one who had confessed his sins and thus escaped burning, wearing a sambenito as an outward sign of his repentance. In the center stands another penitent donning a fuego revolto, reserved for those initially condemned but later confessing their transgressions. This individual would face strangulation before being burned at the stake. Finally, on the right side of this evocative image stands someone sentenced to be burned alive – their fate sealed with a samarra draped over them. The Spanish Inquisition was notorious for its religious persecution and intolerance during medieval times. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era where condemnation and death awaited those deemed heretics or enemies of faith. The costumes worn by these individuals serve as chilling reminders of human cruelty and suffering inflicted upon countless souls throughout history. This powerful visual document serves as both an educational tool and a testament to our collective responsibility to ensure such atrocities never repeat themselves.
