EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme Condamné au Feu par l'Inquisition de Goa' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse is an engraving from the late 18th century that offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial world of the 1790s. The image depicts a man being sentenced to death by the Inquisition in Goa, India. The man, dressed in traditional Indian clothing, is shown barefoot and wearing a turban, with his hands bound behind his back. He stands before a group of European inquisitors, dressed in robes and hats, who look on with stern expressions. The title 'Costumes de Différents Pays' translates to 'Costumes of Different Countries,' indicating that this engraving was part of a larger series documenting the diverse clothing and customs of various regions. The inclusion of this image in the series underscores the global reach of European colonialism and the fascination with the exotic 'Other.' The hand-tinted engraving on paper is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of the period. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the Indian clothing are rendered with remarkable accuracy, while the European inquisitors are depicted in more muted tones. The exterior setting, with its palm trees and exotic architecture, further emphasizes the sense of otherness and distance. Today, this historic work is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it serves as an important reminder of the complex and often fraught history of colonialism and cultural exchange. The image invites us to reflect on the ways in which the past continues to shape our understanding of the world around us and the diverse peoples who inhabit it.
